    Cameras not holding time overlay

    Thanks. This is a noobie question. What is BI?

    Cameras not holding time overlay

    I could go that route as well but I prefer to specify the location of the overlay per camera. I'm using chrome. The timestamp works when I save and exit. It stays for a few days and then goes away. I just checked and when I posted this thread I re-enabled the timestamp. Now it's gone again.

    Cameras not holding time overlay

    I have 3 of the same Loryta IPC-T5442TM-AS cameras and have been running them for a while now. For some reason none of them hold the time overlay. I go and set them via the web administrative console and it takes...but after a few days they just magically disappear and I need to back in and...

    Assistance with T5442TM video settings

    This is awesome thank you. I've made some adjustments and it's already better. What are your thoughts on putting a small 60 watt light off the corner of the house to light up the back yard a bit. Am I complicating things?

    Assistance with T5442TM video settings

    I have 3 of the T5442TM cameras. These are the 2.8mm fixed lense with 1/1.8 sensor. It has the Starlight+ feature for low light. 2 of them work incredibly well. They never use the IR light because there is enough ambient light to show color and use daylight settings. I bought one for my back...

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    All, I've read this entire thread. I picked up one of these (IP5M-T1179EW-28MM) and just got it working today. I'm still a bit confuses as to why people are flashing to Dahua firmware. I see that people have said there may be more options available, but what additional benefits does that...

    Cam suggestions using Camect

    Went with a Loryta IPC-T5442TM-AS and I think it's about right. Not able to mount it lower. This is 9:30PM with landscape lighting on (dim) and overhead lighting on (also dim). I'm not even sure the IR will ever turn on.

    A picture of the porch. I was planning on mounting the camera on the wod above the window.

    Cam suggestions using Camect

    A little new here but reading quite a bit. I have a Camect which does AI detection and I like it. I've got a POE switch and so now I'm looking into cameras. I have Reolinks at the moment and am looking to do better. Since Camect has AI built-in, I don't really need an AI capable camera. I...
