Finally got it backed out of there and didn't have to go full Dremel on it like TonyR's picture. I knew it was really tight at first but didn't expect it to snap the torx bit. I'm sure it's common sense but if you get one that's this tight hit it with some lube and work the screw back and forth...

The bit was broken off inside the screw and wedged inside. I finally got the broken bit out of the screw and I'm trying to lube/tighten/loosen the screw so I can hopefully walk it out of there. Damn thing almost feels cross threaded either way it's a tight sob.

Yeah, I have a set. The problem now is when the screw started getting tight I switched to a Snap-on torx bit and that's what's broken in there now. I tried drilling but it's hardend steel and that's not happening. Damn, what a way to start the weekend:banghead:

I just got a new T5442T and was trying to back out the torx screw so I could mount the plate. Unfortunately, the screw was only got tighter and snapped my bit off inside. I worked the screw back and forth initially because it was so tight but had to back it out far enough to separate the frame...

I would think varifocals and ptz cams would a good call. I know at our district were using a lot if ptz cameras. Have you looked at any of those, just give you a lot more flexibility.

I think these are going to be very close in performance, with the 2431 possibly edging out the 1179 in night view due to the 4mp vs 5mp. One thing to note the 1179 uses a plastic outer frame/mount with no set screw to lock it in place. So if its with in arms reach one can easily reposition it...

I know the bigger sensor is better and the lower minimum illumination better but how does the aperture size affect the low light performance? The 2mp varifocal has an F1.5 while the other two have F1.6 and my T5442T-ZE has a F1.8 I guess the bigger number is better?

I Have the Amcrest model and the low light is not to bad and was thinking about getting another one but the specs on the other two are similar/better for a bit more money. So if one is better I might order one of them. I have a T5442T-ZE installed and a T5442T on the way from Andy. Just looking...

Alright, that was definitely more involved than the Amcrest cameras. I'm glad I know how to do it now, I have a couple more Dahuas on the way. The look on my wifes face when I went out after midnight in the pouring down rain to install that camera was priceless. She said I can barely get you to...

Thank you, I googled it and I will try in windows with the network adapter

That didnt work, said it wasn't in range has to be 10.0.0.

according to my router it's an ipv4 addy 10.0.0.x My pc is on DHCP, so check reserved IP? and change my pc to the same 192.168.1.108 or 192.168.1. any number? Then I can access the cam?

The config tool didn't work for me, I didnt have the option to change the password like in the video so when I got almost through the process it failed to due to password error. Damn I was close on that. I appreciate all the help on this, networking is definitely not my forte.

Yes, ipconfig list all my ip. When I type that number the browser doesnt load. I'm working through the video right now, we'll see how that goes.

Yes it does default to 191.168.1.108 not sure how to assign another ip address the video was just different enough than my download and with any talking I don't know where he got most of the numbers he was using.

Thanks for the video, it looks like it's changed a bit with my new download and my camera does show but doesn't have the option to initialize, from there I cant follow along.

3 Amcrest ip and this new one is an Empiretech/dahua

I don't recall doing that with my other cameras, can you help me with that?

Trying to set up a new T5442T-ZE in BI but it’s not showing up in my router. I rebooted my router and hub and nothing. Tried 2 known work cables and different ports on the hub. Did a hard reset on the camera and still no ip for it in the router. I have three cams working fine and as I recall...

Yeah, I don't know that it would hold up to well in the weather. I've got a white turret camera that needs to be painted brown to match the house. Trying to tape off that round lens area is going to be a pain so I've been thinking about other ways to change the color without paint.

Ok, I'm jealous.

Tree bark camo tape for the win!

So what is preferred for continuous recording VBR or CBR? I just checked and my cameras are set to CBR by default.

No experience with that model but the specs are not great, you will get what you pay for with ip cameras. It all depends on what your expectations are. This Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW is a good "budget priced" camera. Good daytime performance, night vision while not excellent is not to bad for the...

I'm wondering how the IPC-T2431T compares in low light conditions to the IP5M-T1179EW, an even cheaper priced cam with similar specs? The 4mp, T2431T has a Min. Illumination ：0.008 Lux @ F1.6 The 5mp,T1179E has a Min. Illumination ：0.008 Lux @ F1.6 Where they differ is the sensor size T2431...

I’m hoping you guys can give me some camera and camera location ideas for the front of my house. I’m testing an Amcrest 8mp T2449EB 2.8mm turret location center of the garage now that gives me a great shot of both cars. Turning it to the front door gives me a good shot of the front door with a...

Is this pretty much the same camera as the one in the thread title? I know it differs as a varifocal vs fixed lens but I'm talking about the 4MP, 1/1.8" CMOS image sensor, low illuminance, Starlight+ similarity(that and the part number) Looking for one of these to use in a low light area. I've...

Exactly, I don't understand why you put a 100GB BI “New“ folder on the SSD. Just put it on the 8 TB drive and save all the cpu cycles of transferring it from the ssd to the 8TB

Ok we got it. When I deleted the camera and then reinstalled it, the video compression defaults back to re-encode. I must have changed it to "direct to disk" when I first set up the cameras and completely forgot about it on the new camera install. That must be why my cpu was spiking. (still new...
