I do it a little different and it was inspired from somebody here: I drill through the mounting bracket and insert one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083K57N4N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1 You can pass a ethernet cable through it and then terminate the cable...

Defect with protective dome Pulled off After cleaning - there are some specs inside the lens. Maybe even a defect in the glass. Reinstalled - Same defect Looks to be a glass/lens issue.

I should say it is in the same spot in the frame. When I zoom in it gets more pronounced.

I have mounted my camera and I have noticed artifacts in the picture - three black specs. They stay in the same place in frame when moving around (PT) and are the same size when I zoom in and out (Z). So does not look to be on the outside of the camera lens. Is this a sensor issue or dust...

Ok I just got my camera setup and still trying to come to terms with the new UI. Can somebody please help me with the auto tracking feature. Where is it in the UI? I don't have a spotter camera. I just want the camera to track people or objects. I have an ocean view does anybody know if I...

Is the ipc-t5442t-ze still a good camera? Is there something similar that is better at the current moment. Was thinking about the Mini PTZ SD4A425DB-HNY so I can move around and see different views of the ocean, but that is a big step up. I was reading the review thread and I don't need night...

I pulled the camera today and took it to my work bench, did a factory reset and connected to a POE injector and have the same issue. If it is a bad connection, then it is internal to the camera. Time to get a replacement I think.

Thanks. That is directly from the Camera's UI and changing it to CBR didn't fix it. Both Main and Substreams are pixilated or green (main is below).

The connector is inside the camera mounting bracket. My routine for connecting cables is to connect them with the provided weatherproof connector. Spray CorrosionX into the connection and then screw it all together inside the weatherproof connector. I then wrap the entire connector in self...

That image is directly from logging into the camera itself.

Yeah was thinking that too. I'll have to get the ladder out this weekend and climb up to check it. It has been fine for a while and just started doing it. Would a bad connection cause pixelization? I don't see any error counts in my switch

Already running that way

My IPC-T5442T-ZE is on the fritz: It is pixelating random amounts of the image every couple of seconds or so. I have rebooted the camera, but that doesn't help. I am on 2.800.15OG000.0.T, Build Date: 2020-08-25 Firmware. It is about three years old. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

I am not getting any alerts. Only reviewing the video do I see the car. The paper delivery guy is notorious for ripping up and down the streets at 4am. Maybe I should turn down the min duration?

Does anybody have recommendations on fast moving objects, like speeding cars. I have tuned the number of real time images down to zero and have 750 for the analyze one each. But the cars are at night and there is a lot of headlight glare. The logs show no deepstack activity at that time and...

Thank you I didn't know I could use the Zones in conjunction with AI motion. I assume I create the zone and tick the "Use zones and hot spot" checkbox.

I have Deepstack enabled for motion. For the most part it's doing a good job at motion detection. However I have one issue. The motion window includes a flag pole and frequently there are cars parked on the street/driveway and when Old Glory waves Deepstack announces it found a car, but the...

OK I have watched the videos on Zone Crossings. In them there is a mention that they can be configured for particular times of days. For example I have shadows in the morning, but they move by afternoon and need a different zone config or remove the zones at night. How is this done? Dan

Yes my Zmax was 2275 in my case.

I just did this a few days ago. Here are my numbers for the IPC-T5442T-ZE: 2.8 mm ~ 24 on slider 3.6 mm ~ 220 on slider 6 mm ~ 807 on the slider

Ok if this is covered in the Wiki I missed it, and it's an embarrassingly silly question. I have the IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal with the appropriate junction box. The pigtail on the camera is quite long and seems like it would be a tight fit if everything is stuffed inside the round junction box...

Success!! Thank you for helping me. The software is awesome - the docs are great, but man is this thing a Swiss army knife. :cool: I deleted the camera and started over - I even did a reset on the cam - probably not needed, but what the heck. Here are my settings: IFrame Interval set to 30...

Thanks - I'll give that a try and report back. Was the order of operations correct above? Should I do anything different?

It would be nice to know where the pre-trigger buffer is - if it's in memory, great - but it's still not showing up on disk after the event. If I am forced to record continuous I will, but the point of having a pre-trigger time is to catch stuff before the event. ;)

I am still having difficulty getting the "Pre-Trigger" to work. I have it set to 10 seconds with an I-Frame of 1 second. What is strange is I would think there would be disk activity if the pre-trigger was active since it needs to clip ahead of the trigger, but I don't see anything. There...

Dang - ok so reading the docs again - 10 at 10 fps would be 1 I-Frame per second?

My I-Frame on the Camera is 10sec (that is the min I can set it it's a IPC-HDW544T-ZE from Andy) and I am using H265 direct to disk and Smart Codec is off on the camera UI. I upped the pre-trigger to 30 and the break to 30 to cover 3 I-Frames and I will try again.

Got a chance to try this and I am only seeing the event recording itself and no "pre/post" video. I set the pre-trigger and break-time to 10 sec hit save let the camera do it's thing (colorbars) waited for bit then walked in front of the camera. I only got the event starting when I triggered...

Thank you very much - searching is a lot easier when you know the correct term - I was looking at clipping, but the term "pretrigger" didn't register.
