This camera came in very handy today. I had a dishwasher delivered, which turned out to be damaged.
Still taken from video and zoomed in shows damage ( easier to see once you've seen it unpacked) to dishwasher as it is being delivered.
So no problems with video quality from this camera.
Supplier instantly arranged delivery of replacement for next day.

Did their malpractice trigger the siren?

Ha, yes, very useful hidden settings for malpractice and other unwanted callers
I like the idea of this camera for my front porch but it looks like this one has the same issue as the 4MP and SmartIR not working, am I correct? Has there been a firmware update that resolves this?
Most likely a similar fix is already in the works for this one as well. Hopefully Andy can shed some light on the status @EMPIRETECANDY

The fixed lens already sorted the Auto IR issues. This model's firmware still not finish the updating.
Pardon my ignorance, but do you mean that they're still working on the firmware to fix this? In this review for the fixed lens it has the SmartIR issue from what I can see in the videos.

No this one use difference firmware compare to IPC-T5442TM-AS
Ok. So they’re still working on a firmware fix for this one. Too bad they don’t have it ready yet. I’d love to get my hands on this one.

I think this camera is really very good for the money.
I have several of them up, and so far they have performed very well. I find the IVS tripwire and intrusion rules work as intended, LED light and sound alarm can be controlled as required.
Below example shows IVS in action for this camera.
Intrusion calling PTZ camera, and tripwire for Drive area.

Hi, I'm Obviously not Looney,
But Here is an example of 2Way Talk in operation, And it is a very fitting example as the DHL delivery man is carrying more Goodies from Andy
What software are you using in these 2 videos?Hi, I'm Obviously not Looney,

I use a NVR5216-16P-I
V4.000.0000000.1 2019-08-19
For recording and extra AI features (ie face recognition) and
T5241H-AS-PV cam
V2.800.0000000.3 2019-07-19
All from Andy.
Really pleased with NVR and cameras.
That is one premium you paid for the NVR 
If you can a post a review for that model, that'd be greatly appreciated for the ipcamtalk community
Any reason why you didn't opt for the 4216-I instead?

, LOT's & LOT's of reading later, I then Knew what I needed and where to get it.I went for this NVR5216-16P-I , because (from Andy) I thought it to be good value for money for a long list of features, Including face recognition on 4 channels, and more.
Ease of Installation compared to setting up a BI system also was a factor, It literally was plug and play.
Unlike 4216-I review, I had no problems with initial set up, all cameras plugged in 1 at a time and found quite quickly.
Took quite a bit longer for me to work out the settings. A lot of trail and error. I still don't know what they all do.
I will put together a review the best I can, but please don't expect it to be on par with what your used to from the likes of Looney.
Thanks, I believe @looney2ns only had a problem setting up that one specific camera model with the 4216-I as per his review.

I never went through all the differences between the 2 models, But If you say they're virtually the same, then there's no point me doing a review. It certainly would not be as good as Looneys reviews, I've read a lot of his and they're great.
Unlike most of you guys, I'm quite new to this,
So, After spending a huge amount of time reading and learning about different IPcameras, VPN servers & openVPN, Not Port forwarding etc, and countless other important points (All of which I learned from this forum),
I thought my brain needed a rest , so I went for the easy poe option.
If it cost me a bit more, well at least my sanity is in tact
I think ?

Hey Steveee, Would it be possible to take a snapshot of the NVR with the hood off so we can see the board inside, would like to compare the two.I never went through all the differences between the 2 models, But If you say they're virtually the same, then there's no point me doing a review. It certainly would not be as good as Looneys reviews, I've read a lot of his and they're great.
