Did you remove the film from the front of the cameras yet? Also, make sure the focus is set to auto-focus when adjusting the focal length. Sometimes by sharpness may adjust to "0" by default, however, the default value should be 50. Not sure if this may be a potential firmware issue.
Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

- Start date
His problem should be sorted, mainly because of the switch is too old, data transfering is not good.

We have the stock IPC-HDBW5442E-ZE, but sell as our own model as IPC-D5442E-ZE.
The bullet model right now only have IPC-B5442E-Z4E, the IPC-B5442E-ZE have to wait around 2 weeks, sell too hot,the factory chips not enough, so make some delay.

Looks like no 64mm version
Quick Q from newb. These alarm/audio in-out connections are also carried through the POE cable? Or do you need seperate cables?
I will book some, right now we have the IPC-D5442E-ZE, the Z4E will be ready later this month.As of this posting Andy has two in stock.

I think all the info is carried thru the poe cable. You just need to enable settings for audio in or out in the camera web gui.
Separate connections, click to view the attachment (from the OP) below for a visual.

I just placed an order for one more camera. Andy is having a mini sale right now on these cameras and I think the sale is good for one more day. Next month I will order two more. I am really interested in upgrading my PTZ cameras to ones with a 1/1.8" sensor or better. That will have to wait until next year. Mostly because of funding and I don't think the cameras are out on the market yet.
Mostly because of funding and I don't think the cameras are out on the market yet.Do people think this camera equals or betters the low light performance of the 2231T-ZS-S2? I'm planning to put this 5442 to cover my driveway where there is decent ambient light at all time and was thinking of installing the 2231 S2 at the side and a couple of rear locations where ambient light isn't very good. However, if the low light performance of this camera is just as good, if not better than the 2231 then I might as well put the 5442 everywhere!
Spec-wise they look the same (.002 Lux). I think the only person that's gotten hands on with the 2231T-ZS-S2 so far is @looney2ns.
Yea I'm intrigued about the 1/1.8" sensor of the 5442 but 4MP vs the 1/2.8" sensor of the 2231 and 2MP...
I just received my 2231T-ZS-S2 today after ordering from Andy on Tuesday. This is to monitor the entrance from the backyard which needs a varifocal ...
Awesome! If you have the time after it's mounted, let folks know what you think of it over in the 2231 S2 review thread!

I think its worth mentioning that not ALL cameras can or should be used in forced color at night.
I have12 at my home and only 3 are in forced color at night. B&W/IR works in most instances and you still need a good amount of white light to run color.
