    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    So I tried that tonight and still nothing. Maybe I don't fully understand how it all works. If I enable Motion Detection in BI for that cam, I get the triggers, but if that isn't checked, nothing. In your screenshot that you have the circle in, what app is that? Is that through the web browser...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Thanks for the reply, I'll try it again the other way, but I originally noticed this in landscape mode. Granted I had less knowledge of the camera then, so a second test doesn't hurt. What plugin are you referring to? Sorry, for the dumb questions, super new to all this. There was one other...

    Yes sir. Attached is a pic of the section for the cam. I’ve turn on and off all sorts of options to see if something would trigger something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Ok, so I went and did the Default option in the cam and the video blurring seems to be gone, at dusk there was some, but that might be because it's at that edge where the cam just doesn't have enough light and that does make sense. But it didn't change anything from the IVR standpoint, it still...

    Are junction boxes necessary for camera installs?

    Thanks for the replies so far. 2 locations will be mounting to aluminum soffit and the 3rd will mount to vinyl soffit. Both of them have attic access. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are junction boxes necessary for camera installs?

    That’s my thought too, if I sell the house the cameras will stay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are junction boxes necessary for camera installs?

    Yeah, that's about all I've come up with. The junction box does add some complexity to the install as you have to juggle the camera, the camera ring and the box top to complete it and doing some of that from the underneath is a pain in the butt, so I'm just trying to see if they're worth the...

    Are junction boxes necessary for camera installs?

    So I'm getting things ready to install some cameras and I'm just wondering people's thoughts on the junction boxes, such as the PFA-130 from Dahua. Do many of you use them for your installs at home? I get that they can store some of the wire mess so that you don't have to push it back up into...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    That I did. I will try it again tonight. The other thing I noticed is that the image/recording has motion blurring issues with left at the default 4MP res during the day. At night it seems fine. it's set to 15FPS, 4096 CBR bitrate.

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t get the cams built in IVR to work. I have it on and then set a trip wire, but nothing happens. I uploaded the new firmware right out of the box. I can get BI to send me motion alerts but the cam doesn’t seem to do anything. Thought? Sent from my...

    BV-Tech PoE switch OK?

    If you don’t need 2 uplink ports they have another 8 port one that’ll save you $30, https://www.amazon.com/BV-Tech-Port-Switch-Ports-Uplink/dp/B005GAATOG?tag=ipctk-20 I’ve seen people use them here and other forums and have been happy with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Auto IR bug fixed firmware 20190930

    In a nutshell, yes. I like the idea of the 2MP AD one that looney reviewed with the speaker and LED, but it has the Auto IR issue. I'm just a newbie seeing all sorts of interesting cameras and trying to decide what would I would like. But in the end, I'd like it to have functioning Auto IR so...

    Thanks. I was just curious. I don't have one yet, but considering one. Hoping someone else who has one tries it out and reports back.

    IPC-T5442TM-AS Auto IR bug fixed firmware 20190930

    Great to hear! Any word on if the LED version will have the option to turn on the LED when motion is detected and leave the LED off when it's idle? From the review I saw it's either always on or always off only.

    Ok. So they’re still working on a firmware fix for this one. Too bad they don’t have it ready yet. I’d love to get my hands on this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pardon my ignorance, but do you mean that they're still working on the firmware to fix this? In this review for the fixed lens it has the SmartIR issue from what I can see in the videos.

    I like the idea of this camera for my front porch but it looks like this one has the same issue as the 4MP and SmartIR not working, am I correct? Has there been a firmware update that resolves this?

    So this is the underside of my porch, where I plan to put a turret camera. It’s vinyl siding. What suggestions would you guys have or have you done an install like this before? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’m looking at 3 on the house right now. Probably do a couple on the garage in the spring so I could always move a 5231 there and if the 5442s mature by then get one. I am considering one of the 5431, I think that’s the model, the 2MP starlight with speaker in it for...

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think I'd want to go with a camera that hasn't been tested yet as I don't have the time or patience to fiddle with it more than a tried and true one as I'm so new to IP cams. I'm thinking the 5231 might be the way to go for my situation. Out of curiosity and in your...

    Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I am considering one of the mini domes, but more for my back door. My front door and porch are set differently than most.

    Thanks for the reply. The 5442 line is the one I was mentioning. Another member pointed me to a VF version. I think those are what I'm going to go with. Thanks for the extra info to read up on.
