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

    That's what I suggested to Andy, he said he was going to test it but never heard back about it. I gave up and them and returned the one I had. It's a bummer as it was a nice cam and it's a shame that Dahua can't or won't admit to a problem with them and address it.

    Interesting. Do you have yours mounted outside and all that and they still move? I’m just concerned that they’ll get moved. Sure it would take a stick or pole, but hey anything would be possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, very thin ones compared to whats on the 5231s i have and I think that is the issue, they're not thick enough or tall enough.

    Ah, a newer unit than ours. I wonder if there was some early production issues that slipped through the cracks and we got them and since yours is newer it doesn't have the loose eyeball issue like ours do.

    Have you tried putting in just garycaa in the username box, omitting the @gmail.com part to see if that works?

    Yeah, pretty crazy. Hey, would you happen to know the size of the set screw so that I can get a screwdriver type tool instead of using that stupid little L tool to tighten them?

    I wrenched mine down super tight and it got better but still could be moved. Something ain't right.

    As a new user, that's not a good thing to hear. Hopefully they catch it and fix the issues.

    Oh man, I hope they don't turn into the Denny's of security cams right when I start to enter the rabbit hole. Anything else in similar price range worth trying? I have 2 - 5231s showing up today so I'll see if they have similar issues to this one and have to decide what to do.

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

    Yeah, that could work, but why should be have to rig something to keep in place if it's supposed to. I agree and it's a shame as it's a nice camera otherwise. I think at this point I'll send it back as defective and get a 5231 and call it a day.

    I take it still nothing from him? I wonder if I should return mine back to amazon as defective. I'd rather not wait around for an answer only to fine it's too late to return and it's mounted.

    5231 vs. 5442 turrets

    Thanks for the the reply. Yeah, I'm just a bit concerned since the turret can be turned when it's locked into place on the 5442, that seems like a security issue to me.

    5231 vs. 5442 turrets

    Hello all, So I’m looking to get the last 2 cameras I need for right now. I have one of the 5442 3.6mm turrets now and so far I like it though I do have issues with the IVS not working properly and noticed that the turret can still be moved even when tightened down, other seem to be having this...

    Mine can be moved around with some effort as well when tightened down. This is my first real cam and I do like the quality of the video, but I am hesitant to order more. I need 2 more cams right now and kinda thinking about going with the 5231s, especially since one could be turned due to...

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

    So I'm looking to buy 2 more cams and wondering if you think it's worth getting another one of these 5442s even though there are some IVS issues with the latest firmware and just hope they fix it soon or should I fall back on to the 5231 VF turrets, or even a 3.6mm fixed both would work for me...

    It would be nice if they could add the option to turn the LED on once motion is detected and leave it on until motion has stopped and go off again.

    Great points! I’m try to decide if I want another one of these or go with a 5321 VF. BTW, IE shows those buttons for me now! Thanks for the suggestions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ohh.. ok, that. Yeah that was there, clicked the link and downloaded that file and ran it. I have a video in that space, I can draw a tripwire and all that. But I just don't have that little orange box your pic has.

    I can try that. Does the plugin automatically start or do you have to manually enable it somehow? I looked for plugins and didn't see anything last night.

    That is familiar and I'm pretty sure I installed it, but apparently it didn't work for me.

    Interesting, I'm using Pale Moon and that might be why no plugin option has popped up, I'll try that this weekend. Maybe part of my issue is that I don't have any of the filter options checked for human or cars, I kinda thought if they were checked it would filter them out. Good point, I could...

    That PullPointSubscription was the ticket! Tripwire seems to work ok, though it does seem to miss one if I have multiples at a time and is kinda slow at reacting here and there. I can't get the intrusion box to work, so maybe I'll have to see how BI does for these options. I'm not sure if it's a...

    What's that plugin that you have circled in red? I don't see that in my BI or camera. Or is that from a standalone NVR?

    No worries, it happens to all of us at one point or another. Sometimes we think that it's something they already know or should no and skip right over it.
