    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    In case anyone decides to downgrade from the latest to an older firmware. Tried going back to V2.820.15OG004.0.R, Build Date: 2021-07-29 because I encountered some additional issues with the latest firmware that I couldn't resolve even with multiple factory resets. After downgrading, 5442 went...

    Just some local thieves spooked by motion sensor light

    Pretty dark. One not very bright street lamp roughly 40 feet away is the closest source of light. The motion sensor light is 30W LED if I remember correctly. Here are the settings for the 5442. Lot's of gain.

    It's interesting how oblivious they are to the cameras, but start running as soon as light turns on. I know camera position and lightning are not the greatest. The color IPC is IPC-T5442T-ZE the BW is IPC-HDW3541T-ZAS.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    Anyone on latest firmware encountered a behavior where there's no indication of any events recorded on camera internal storage? Screenshots below. As you can see, no blue box on days where events happened on new firmware. Using different browsers makes no difference.

    SMD records all night long / no IVS image preview

    Could be related or the same issue I have on one of my cams on occasion. SMD event/motion triggers recording continuously (sometimes for hours) even though motion has long stopped. It usually takes another SMD event for cam to stop recording. I don't use NVR though.

    T5442T-ZE disabling noise filter makes no difference problem

    I guess manual reboot makes no difference? I would try a complete factory reset and if that doesn't help, maybe upgrade FW as the last resort.

    T5442T-ZE disabling noise filter makes no difference problem

    Works like it should on my end (disabled on all cams). By sounds no different you mean it still sounds muffled and distorted even with noise filter disabled?

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    I will definitely try a factory reset first before I mess with FW version. For now I’m still trying to figure out if these events that trigger continuous recording have anything in common. It happened 3 times now in both night and day. The first time it happened I stopped the recording myself...

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    Il’l try my best to explain what the issue is again. I have 3 IPCs (I don’t have NVR). All of them use SMD exclusively. They do exactly what I want and work exactly how I want. Occasional false alarm (cat) is not a problem AT ALL. One of this 3 cams started acting weird two weeks after...

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    MD sensitivity settings are irrelevant if you enable SMD. SMD completely ignores those. As for alerts. Here's an example: you have IVS intrusion box setup at main house entrance. You have kids playing or someone working in front of the house. You get IVS intrusion push alerts from DMSS literally...

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    I probably didn’t explain things very well. So like I said in my OP, I use SMD exclusively and it works great for me on other cams. It worked fine on this one too. It does exactly what I want with almost 0 false triggers. The only exception is an occasional cat but that’s a problem with IVS too...

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    No I don’t have any IVS rules setup and IVS is not enabled. The reason I don’t use IVS is lack of anti dither which means notification spam (DMSS push) every couple of seconds. Also since I forgot to mention, I don’t have NVR. I only record internally on SD.

    One of my T5442T-ZEs started misbehaving

    One of my T5442T-ZEs (the other one on older FW is fine) started behaving in a really weird way the last couple of days (worked fine for around 2 weeks) and would be thankful for any input. First the FW version: MD and SMD settings: When it happened the first time I thought it was a...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.15OG004.0.R.201203

    Same FW here and no log issues. Factory reset and maybe switch with another microSD card? As for P2P reenabling itself... for me it only happens after a reboot but not on every reboot. It was happening on previous FW too.
