I assume there will be no more updates for this camera so it will never work properly since it requires flash. What is a suitable replacment camera that will work properly? I guess it's time to retire this one.

Anymore updates for this camera so that it will display the video in chrome / firefox / modern browers?

I am using it to monitor our front gate durring the day, and at night I switch it to BW / License plate reader settings. The only issue is I never remember to adjust the sunset time as the days get longer / shorter. It's one of the more useful cameras we have installed as it monitors...

I have the older model. Is it worth upgrading?

With this firmware every morning I wake up and my camera is completely out of focus, rendering it useless until I log in and press the auto focus button (and I won't always be able to do this or remember to do this). I would like to move back to an older firmware, but which is recommended?

Just realized I posted about the wrong camera, it's my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E that is having issues going out of focus every time it comes out of night mode... However my ipc-hfw8232e-z is now acting up as well. Today I don't get any image at all when I woke up. I turned off smart codec and it...

I updated to the Nova v2.640.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006.0.R.190627

I have to autofocus because the window showing the camrea Is black on that screen. but after selecting autofocus the camera shows fine on the other tabs.

Since updating to the latest firmware, the camera defocuses itself very day (I think which switching back to daytime mode). I have to manually log into the camera to refocus itself. How do I fix this? As it is it's is basically now worthless.

maybe I could just mount that to the existing box, have double boxes? heh. I'm currently using PFA121 boxes on the front of the house.

I'll give that a read for sure thanks! Everyone was saying I should upgrade to the 5442 because it has a larger sensor but the camera I have now uses the same size sensor 1/1.8" . https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/uploads/soft/20190219/DH-IPC-HFW8232E-Z_Datasheet_20190215.pdf It might...

IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE Turrent Mount is an interesting solution. F1.6, .002 Lux, has some IR, Has MIC (any disadvantages to the bullet version below?) IPC-HFW5442E-SE Bullet Style. Same specs, but no microphone. (I'm guessing it is cheaper then?) I do have the microphone I purchased in the OP. Just...

Wow that is super helpful! So the new zoom models actually have slightly worse low light performance than the one I have now. No wonder it was so expensive 2 years ago! But, since I'm not using the zoom on that camera anyways and have it set fully zoomed out the PC-HFW5442E-SE would be a...

I checked the sittings an I am only zoomed in about 8x (a bit over the 1/2 way mark in the software). This allows me to watch delivery people, and I can see our mailbox which is about double the distance from the front gate. Nice to see when packages are getting delivered, and read license...

What about this EOS one I found? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dh_ipc-hx8xxx-nova_eng_p-n_stream3-ipc-hfw8232e-z-ze.31405/page-3#post-470615 Also whats the difference between these two (note the 2.6mm version is also available in 3.6mm)? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I find Dahua...

No I have 2 cameras next to each other, one watching the whole area (IPC-hfw8232e-z ), and the other one (IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E ) zoomed in on the chain-link gate that opens to our property. I just updated the software on the varifocal camera to see if it helps with the lockups. Didn't update the...

Hey guys, is this the latest firmware? I'll wait to confirm before I update. I have the IPC-HFW8232E-Z https://www.dahuasecurity.com/support/downloadCenter/firmware?child=161&page=4 It's under EOS instead of Nova? DH_IPC-HX8XXX-Eos_EngSpnFrn_PN_Stream3_Market_V2.680.0000000.41.R.181212 If...

Thanks I wasn't even looking at this one until you sent me a model number since I can't find them on Dahuas website. https://www.amazon.com/Loryta-IPC-T5442TM-AS-Starlight-Eyeball-Network/dp/B07S21FVC7. I might go for one of those above and maybe get the bullet camera with zoom. (Curretly...

I can't seem to find the 5442 cam's on Dahuas website. I found this thing, but not sure where it fits in? https://us.dahuasecurity.com/?product=4mp-ir-eyeball-starlight-2-8mm-epoe-network-camera

is turret preferred then? I'm confused on the two models I linked, and no sure which other 5442's or hikvision 2347 options. I think the 5442 without zoom also does not have IR leds? I don't think I have cleaned my bullet cameras in over a year :)

Any reason I would want a turret housing if I am upgrading from a bullet camera? I mean I already have a hole in the wall for a bullet type mount, and I'm not sure a turret would work well on the side of the wall? I thought turrets were best for roof mounting where the base is attached pointed...

It looks like the zoom version is F1.8 but the fixed lens version is 1.0...

I thought bullet housing was best because turrets tend to get more glare? Honestly I have only ever use bullet cameras. Right now I have the HFW8232E-Z and the zoom version (which I use to also get plates at night) sounds like the best replacement would be the 7442 then? Is amazon the best...

Sounds Like I should buy a 7442? Any reviews comparing the 5442 to the 7442? Best place to purchase them?

Nothing wrong with this camera but is there something newer that is better than can be used in a similar way? Just want good day / night performance. Should I look for something higher in megapixels or stick with 2mp? Also some time back I bought a microphone to add to this thing, but I can't...

I haven't had a focus issue, however my camera seems to lock up sometimes which switching from daylight to night or vice versa (i run B&W at night and have the brightness turned down to better capture reflective license plates). It startsv showing a picture again the next time the profile...

Hey thanks I'll have to give that a shot. If they are not designed to change the zoom frequently then why can I change to min/max zoom by pressing a button? I'd rather not be able to change zoom at all from my phone or blue iris because once it gets changed I can't change it back to my custom...

Yea noticed that today, really good adjustment in these guys. Wow imgur really removes a ton of detail from the images. The actual images look much better than the ones I posted :) I'll see if I can post to flickr or something maybe. Edit: Now I want more cameras, not sure if I should get...

Ok so I got the second new camera installed today. It's slow going getting this done right. The zoomed camera should be able to get most plates if given an opportunity. While the other one watches the driveway. Really impressed with both these new cameras. 4-16mm (ultra starlight) and...

Thanks, I only have a 4 channel poe switch, but it sounds like I could get a powerstrip for the outlet I installed, and a POE injector and make another cable.
