Prize well received now. Thanks a lot @EMPIRETECANDY

First post in the 5442 thread

I mean, all three cameras are working fine. It is more about how things can be improved.

There seem to be regional differences and standards. For stranded wire as used in patch kabels, we crimp (e.g. AWG26/7). The cable I used is AWG23/1 which is, at typically not working with standard 8P8C Plugs. Hence, the above mentioned connectors that make use of LSA. However, I was now able...

Coming back to the RJ45 connection .This is from the Wiki and the Dahua description Obviously this will only work with a standard / crimped plug for patch cable. What is the intended solution for installation cable, which I cannot crimp? Typically, I use connectors like this, but as...

Agree, using a square box with a turret cam looks odd and I would have to explain to my wife :) What kind of RJ45 plugs are recommended and maybe are particularly small to better fit in the box than the ones I have used. I will do some pics once I will install the next cams.

Thanks for the hint. That is indeed something I missed, but let's see what comes first, oxidated connection or new camera :cool:

I am curious about your expert views on the way how Dahua cams (and probably many others) are mounted, especially in combination with a junction box. First of all, I had no previous experience with CCTV/IP cams and their installation. So, some of the following statements and observations may...

Thanks @wittaj That confirmed my intial idea. Order is placed at Andy's :D

That makes sense. Thanks for the details. The issue with H.265 and cameras is that you do not have the ability of multipass encoding as you would to it for example for a blu-ray movie where everything is predictable and can be optimized with each run.

Hey all! After one of the Amazon delivery guys nicked a package from another delivery service before Christmas, I decided to do a "Proof of Concept" camera installation at my front door just to see how it works. As I did not have any network cable available at that point in time, I got a wifi...

Switched to H.264 on all three cameras. That did the trick. Thanks guys! However, that is actually a pitty as H.265 serves the purpose to reduce bandwith with 4k video. Is there a way to report this bug back to someone?

I already disabled the substreams to make sure only main stream is used It already happens with the default config (see screenshot): For testing purposes I now configured all three cams with 4k resolution and CBR with 8Mbit/s and they all run smoothly in SmartPSS (simultanously). Therefore...

First, thanks alls for coming back to me so quickly Sure. I noticed the issue first when using the live web view of the cameras itself . Then I tried the NVR but just for testing. I have not used this one before, but here noticed the same issue. And last, I used my iPhone with a generic IPCAM...

Hey guys, I am pretty new to this forum which I found after looking for some professional advice, which seems to be rare in the consumer-model flooded IPCAM market. Based on Wildcat_1's fantastic review, I bought a couple of IPC-T5842T-ZE from Andy, from which I have two installed so far. The...
