I have a couple of Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE turrets. On these cameras I have Smart Motion Detection enabled to filter for only Human and Vehicle events. No matter the selected Sensitivity (I tried medium and low), the cameras seem to be triggering on any motion event regardless, such as birds...

That one doesn't support IR.

You’re probably right. I can only find one camera with the IMX585, but it’s not a surveillance camera. Since the release of “proper” 4K cameras (with 1/1.2 sensor) seems to be imminent I’m trying to decide if I should wait for them or if I should just go with 4mp at 1/1.8 now. @EMPIRETECANDY Do...

What I have found so far: AXIS P1468-LE Bullet camera ($1,049) AXIS Q3538-LVE Dome camera ($1,499) Considering Andy is selling his Full-Color 4K camera with 1/1.2" sensor for around $250, I was hoping there are more affordable options than AXIS. Unfortunately Andy's cam doesn't work with IR...

Hi all, I’m looking for 4K cameras with a 1/1.2” sensor (or better) and IR capabilities. If I’m not mistaken they are not offered by Dahua or Hikvision. Is there any other brand that offer these specs? I’m looking for bullet, dome and turret style cameras. I read Sony released their IMX585...

Same here! How much longer do you guys think it’ll take until Dahua releases a 4K camera with 1/1.2” sensor and IR?

I'd be happy to pay a small fee, but $199 for personal use is simply too expensive.

I think I may have found the culprit. The PC is a brand-new machine, and I installed an additional NIC from TP-Link (TG-3468). Initially when I booted Windows for the first time, I noticed the entire system was freezing for several seconds every 10 seconds or so. I disabled the NIC in Windows'...

And one more observation: if the video skips/stutters, it's happening with all cameras at that time.

Two more thoughts: If networking would be the issue, I would also expect the 6MB read buffer to "catch" any small intermittent network delays. I have an example of a recording this morning where the video stutters several times or even just skips 10 seconds in a second or so (looking at the...

Thank you for the tips and suggestions. I have tried/investigated the following: Intel VPP I have set hardware acceleration to "Intel" (thus disabling VPP). Camera settings The cameras use regular H264 without any smart codecs. Bitrate is set to CBR 8192 for 4MP, 2048 for the 1.2MP cameras and...

I’m new to Blue Iris and just set up the system with 7 cameras (5x 1.3mp, 1x 2MP and 1x 4MP 5442T-ZE). All cameras are setup with the following settings: H264, highest quality setting Bitrate of 2048 kbps for the low res cameras, 3072 kbps for the 2MP camera and 8192 kbps for the 4MP camera 25...

Thanks a lot! This is very helpful information. Is there a downside to using H265? I thought that H265 can offer better quality at a similar bit rate or the same quality at a lower bitrate compared to H264.

Thanks, that explains it. Much appreciated! Which brings me to the following question: is there a guide to optimal settings for both day and night performance for this camera? Or is everything on "auto" sufficient?

Hello, I’m testing a Dahua IPC-T5442T-ZE. I noticed that one of the two IR lights is significantly less bright than the other, even when I set the illuminator manually to 100% in the software. Are others seeing this behavior as well, or does this indicate a malfunction of one of the two IR lights?
