Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+
Sweet! Don't know how I missed that but for roughly a fiver extra it's not bad considering I get it much quicker. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Ahh no worries - I'll have a look around for a square mount otherwise might just order the official Dahua one from Andy. -

Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+
Ahh right sorry I think wires are getting crossed here. I started off picking up a question here about mounting the T5442TM-AS but the camera I need a mount for is the 5442-ZE bullet and the mount for that cam is the PFA121. My T5442TM-AS will be installed under a soffit so wires will go above... -

Thanks. I've not crimped the RJ45 end onto the cable yet as I've just run the cable so that won't be an issue anyway. I have asked Andy how long it would take him to ship me the Dahua one so will decide once he gets back although I can see the round mount and square camera base might not look... -

Oh I already checked with Andy and its the PFA121 but I was wanting something in the next few days and conscious it could take his shipment 1 or 2 weeks. And there doesn't seem to be anyone selling that junction box in the UK. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Just on this @ljw2k - I'm in the UK and I'll need a junction box for a B5442 bullet going on a brick wall as per my post above. Kenable have a standard size universal junction box and a large version - I'm assuming I don't need anything more than the standard size because all I'll be using it to... -

Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+
That's what I'll do. I've got one that will go on a brick wall. It'll go exactly where the CAT6 is coming out of that brick but the hole in the brick is definitely not big enough to put all the extra connections coming out the back of the cam so in that location, looks like I'll need a junction... -

Ah right, I'm planning to install it in the soffit of my porch with the CAT6 going straight into the camera so was planning for the extra cable to be left in the void above the soffit. The thing which could cause an issue is the two B5442 bullets I got from Andy have a bunch of other... -

Just an update on the original issue of this thread - I still haven't had time to get to grips with Wireshark so I can properly test those cables but what I have done is connected a camera to each one and the good news is that the camera was detected on my network and I was able to view a...- freddyq

Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+
I've been following this thread on and off recently as I was looking for a varifocal cam in turret form for my front drive and came across this as a possible upgrade/alternative to the 5231. I can live with the fixed lens but initially there were some firmware related issues which it looks like... -

Advice on iperf3 test results
Slightly off-topic and newbie question but related to my setup, is there any difference in performance from the perspective of running cameras in the following two scenarios. I have CAT6 cable running to a location where my extension is currently being built. The other end of this CAT6 cable is...- freddyq

Advice on iperf3 test results
So I hooked up the camera to two of the cables, one after another to test focal lengths and the video stream looked absolutely fine on both cables. No lagging or video quality issues at all. So that's a good result. Must admit the wireshark stuff isn't making much sense to me but I think I need...- freddyq

Interesting! So for now, because I've got some work going on at the house I thought it was a good opportunity to finally get cameras installed on these cables I've had hanging outside the house for so long. Once things settle down and finances allow, I'll be getting myself an efficient PC I can...- freddyq

Advice on iperf3 test results
Many thanks for this. Only question I have is, how do I check throughput of the signal once I have the camera connected to the cable? Is there a scientific way to do it or is it simply looking for quality issues in the footage being relayed? The switch I'm using is actually not too old, I...- freddyq

Advice on iperf3 test results
The cable has been rolled up and hung at the points outside the so concern would be how both sun and rain/cold temps have affected it.. I don't mind using wireshark if it could help me pinpoint the issue and potentially avoid running new cables. How does it work? In terms of the causes you...- freddyq

What focal length am I viewing?
Hi, I've got a B5442E-ZE cam which I would like to use to test various focal lengths to determine which version of the T5442TM fixed lens cam I need to buy. In the web interface for the camera, when in the live view I see the zoom slider goes from 0 to 2275 which means 0 is 2.7mm and 2275 is... -

Using vari-focal camera to determine focal length of fixed-focus camera (revisited)
I've had another play around on the IPVM tool - it looks like two T5442TM-AS cams (3.6mm version) will provide the kind of coverage and FOV I would want. I did a comparison buy putting two 2231s in the same locations and adjusting the coverage to what I would want and it ends up almost the same... -

Using vari-focal camera to determine focal length of fixed-focus camera (revisited)
Thanks yea I've used that quite a lot to come up with my proposed combo of cams for various locations around my house. So on paper the two fixed lens cam should work but I want to confirm that with actual footage to see exactly how it would look. Guess it's just me double checking before buying... -

Using vari-focal camera to determine focal length of fixed-focus camera (revisited)
I've taken delivery of two IPC-B5442-ZE cams ordered from Andy [emoji51] I'm planning to use one of these to test focal lengths in a couple of locations where I'm planning to put the T5542TM fixed lens camera. So my question is, assuming I use ipcam viewer lite to access the camera's feed (I... -

Using vari-focal camera to determine focal length of fixed-focus camera (revisited)
Hmm thanks. I think I will post here once I have messed with the camera a bit to verify before I buy. With the fixed lens versions you do have to be that extra bit careful. Alternatively, would be amazing if Dahua came out with a varifocal version of the T5442 turret...problem solved! Sent... -

Using vari-focal camera to determine focal length of fixed-focus camera (revisited)
I am planning to do exactly the same thing as @lostinpangea except I'll be using a HFW5442E-ZE which is varifocal to determine which fixed lens version of the T5442TM-AS I should order. Difference in my case is that both these cameras have the same MP and sensor size. I thought I would just... -

That's probably true if you're trying to satisfy everyone but for example I've had a Ring Pro for a couple of years and I can't say I've had any lag or service outage issues with it. I could do with it integrating with my smart display and speakers (Ring doesn't because of the Amazon vs Google... -
