    54IR-ZE-S3 vs 58IR-ZE-S3 Night quality

    No, both are turrets. I don't see any manual IR settings -- where should they be?

    54IR-ZE-S3 vs 58IR-ZE-S3 Night quality

    The 4MP: H.265 Encoding strategy: normal 2688x1520 30 FPS CBR 6144 bitrate I Frame interval: 60 8PM: H.264 Encoding strategy: normal 15 FPS CBR I Frame interval: 15 I'll try your recommended encoding settings. Should I lower the 33ms to something like 20 maybe? I'll see if that makes a...

    54IR-ZE-S3 vs 58IR-ZE-S3 Night quality

    I just added a new 58IR-ZE-S3 to replace an older camera and I couldn't help but notice my 54IR looks far superior at night. I wasn't expecting 58IR to be as good as the 54IR at night, but I'm wondering if I have something screwed up on the 58IR. The 58IR looks more blurry at night as you can...

    More Day/Night Profile Confusion

    Nope, I'm using Chrome. I will try IE. Thanks!

    More Day/Night Profile Confusion

    I'm trying to tweak my day/night settings on the 5442 (running the latest firmware). My goal ultimately is for the camera to switch to the "Day" profile during the day, and the "Night" profile during the night. I also want WDR to be enabled in the night-time, but not in the day-time (for...

    Vertically mounting IPC-T5442T-ZE w/ PFA-130-E

    I need to vertically mount this camera+junction box to a brick wall. Does it have a 3 axis adjustment so that I can properly aim the camera when it's mounted vertically?

    Enough room to hide cables in PFB203W?

    I'm looking at using a PFB203W to mount a Dahua 5321 turret to a brick wall. This particular location just has CAT6 sticking through the brick with no junction box. Is there enough room to hide the RJ45 connection of the camera in the top of the camera (or in the PFB203W)? I really would like...

    Night vision picture quality and performance

    Yeah - I think it has to be positioning. I should have enough ambient light with the streetlight and can's over the garage door.

    I have cans above the soffit close to the camera that illuminate the driveway, but I think they actually are making things worse.

    Night vision picture quality and performance

    It doesn't do anything on my 5231 either. @bigredfish: is the 5442 basically the 4MP 2.8m fixed version of the 5231? Are there any other differences? I see it also has three streams which I need. It's also about the same price as the 5231. BTW - those snaps look amazing! Wish I could get...

    Night vision picture quality and performance

    Yeah - I wonder if they have any newer models with newer/better sensors. Digging through their camera catalog is challenging (at least for me!).

    The LTS CMIP3342W-M. You can see a snapshot in the first message of this thread.

    Night vision picture quality and performance

    Good catch. Yeah - the LTS was positioned slightly differently. I'll reposition and try to get the soffit completely out of the image for tonight's test. Overall, I was actually surprised on how much better the LTS was able to light up the entire scene with such minimal light. I can't seem...

    I'm not seeing that WDR has any affect at all when Night mode is activated.
