Last few days there has been a lot of supsicious activity in the street: looks like people "scouting" houses, cars etc. Police is informed (by multiple inhabitants). This has been recorded by 2 Andy/Dahua cams, which are connected to a Synology NAS running Surveillance Station. Motion detection...

Tried Internet Explorer, didn't make a difference. As @wittaj always says: don't fix it if it ain't broken. I've been very happy with the performacce of the ASE, so didn't feel the need to update. Will see how the ZE performs.

They are both from Andy. :) I'm pretty sure that the ZE has the firmware from Andy on there (it is the famous december 2020 build), but how about the the ASE? Is that also Andy firmware or is that generic Dahua firmware?

I've just installed my new IPC-T5442T-ZE, and now dialing it in. I already have a IPC-T5442TM-ASE. I notice th the method of adding a privacy mask is different. IPC-T5442TM-ASE: I can draw each shape or form I like. Installed firmware (from factory, didn't update): V2.820.0000000.0.R, Build...

I've checked and tried. Indeed shutter and gain were changed, but putting them back doesn't give me the same image. Some other parameter, which I can't find, is changed as well.

When setting IVS, and thereafter looking at the parameters they appear to be similar. Nothing seems to be changed. However, changing them (and putting them back to the old values after that) doesn't bring the image back to the old state (before IVS). Do you mean you should find new appropriate...

I'm using a 5442 from Andy. I've been pretty satisfied with the performace of the smart motion detection. Today, for fun, I tried the IVS and set some tripwires and an intrusion box. This evening I noticed that my image quality wasn't as what is used to be. I'm using custom settings (shutter...

This evening, a little after sundown, I noticed the same pink tint on the image. When looking out of the window the sky itself was pinkish as well. I took a photo with my phone, and guess what, same tint could be seen. Few minutes later when the tint couldn't be seen on the 5442 anymore it also...

Camera is only 2 months old... What do you think is causing this? I'm pretty sure it isn't the IR filter being stuck as 1) image before and after is normal and 2) pink tint gradually increases and decreases.

Did the pink tint gradually increase? So from normal colors to pink tint in a few seconds/minutes? Are was it there suddenly? Can you hear any clicking from the IR filter before or after?

Here you go. Applied a small crop and blacked few things out. And here normal image this morning as reference: Was yours pink the entire day? Mine only two times during the day, for a few minutes length each time. Quite sure it wasn't a stuck IR filter as I heard it switching in the...

Forgot to mention it's a 5442ASE. Didn't do it this morning. Could indeed be this purple fringing! Using H265.

I've read that thread, but that looked more like a stuck IR filter. Mine only showed the tint two times during the day for a few minutes. Rest of the day was fine. Pretty sure mine filter isn't stuck as you can hear it clicking. I was thinking of maybe a white balance issue?

Today I noticed something strange. This morning, a few minutes after the camera switched from B&W to color (with an audible click) the image gradually turned pinkish. Before and after the image looked normal. Same thing happened this evening 20 minutes before the camera switched to B&W again...

What do you guys think would be optimal height for camera positioning? I was thinking around 2.4 meter, which is about the same height as the one above the driveway. However, the pole itself is around 3 meter so I could go higher with the camera, also making it harder for bystanders to get to it.
