Review-OEM IPC-T3241-ZAS 2mp AI Lite series Varifocal

Is it a fixed lens or varifocal?
 
I am having a problem with this one camera.
during daylight hours - the camera suddenly looks like its suddenly losing its focus, blurring, then coming back a little brighter than normal, then returns to a good image.
all this happens in a matter of about 4 seconds, buts it doing it a lot, a causing alerts while it happen in blue iris.
this runs its course every few minutes to tens of minutes then stops for a while, then do this again maybe a couple of hours later.
any clues?
This does not seems to happen at night, maybe only because I don't happen to get an alert from blue iris and see it happen.

I would set it back to factory defaults, then set it back up from scratch.

Are you running a manual shutter with a time range to adjust shutter speed - one of my cams was set like that and it was always adjusting like that based on clouds and sun, especially the days that were mostly sunny with a intermittent clouds blocking the sun. Setting a fixed shutter speed took care of it.
 
Thanks guys
I'll try resetting back to default,/then resetting.
I have profile at day/night,
.conditions -picture -/ day- standard
I do have shutter priority manual, due to lots of shade/sun passing through my scene at .0-33.33
Backlight SSA
 
I am curious as well as to if the "AI" features have improved on this camera, as they were pretty poor when I originally tested this camera a few months back. Does human and vehicle detection work as expected?
Thanks
 
what is the currently firmware you are using? Here is the latest new firmware.
IPC-HX3XXX-Leo_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.14.R.200612
 
I'll try the newer firmware as I haven't updated or used this camera in a few months.
Thanks
 
i had to go back to outdoor and auto setting, then removing SSA setting also to get back to normal.

Came home from work tonight, this camera now is not responding. Ill have to bring it inside and hook it up to my main switch. I checked all the outdoor wiring and the second switch port it was connected to. Other camera on that second switch has always worked without problems. :(
 
eech.. hooked it up inside , it seems to be OK. back to the outside wiring.. interesting though, it ate up a regular sandisk 64 meg. card. I replaced it with a new sandisk extreme 128g. card

Looking to cover a side gate with one of these T3241T-ZAS cameras. It will be located 18 feet back and 7 or 8 foot high and pointed straight at a 6’ iron gate and fence. From your experience will there be any ir issues.
 
it will work fine..
 
using Blue Iris, has anyone been able to get the play back a message over the camera speaker as part of the actions "On Alert"? I select this camera on the output, however, it still plays on my computer speakers instead.
 
It does have a mic so you can hear what's going on as well. I have two of these, and am planning a few more. Bang for the buck is great and they outperform a 5231, and that was a good camera.
