Now running 4 PC-T5442T-ZEBs and 3 T5442T-AS's with V2.820.0000000.2.R firmware (Build Date: 2021-04-03) running on all. Haven't had any luck getting settings to stick with IE, Chrome, and Chrome with the IE extension. Just wondering if anyone had a firmware/browser combo that they found to make settings hold with these cameras.
 
I use IE to setup my 5442t-ase and -ze cams and have never noticed an issue.

Which settings aren’t sticking?

Have you tried any other firmware versions?
 
I've primarily used regular old IE, but I find after a given period of time, the FPS always reverts back to 30 and the iframe to something double whatever the FPS is. Also, the time settings always move an hour.
 
I use IE and after making a change I "save" four or five times. It's been holding settings that way. The time thing is a quirk in Dahua time zones. I have a couple of cameras set to Atlantic Time zone when I'm in Eastern to keep them synced.

Make sure you are really using IE. I never use Edge for anything, but recently, my IE shortcut in the task bar was routing me to Edge. Microsoft changed something, and is trying to force everyone into Edge. I had to go back into settings and change browser to never use Edge.

I have Bluriris and still have issues. For the folks that are having success using just IE, what firmware are you using?

I have the same cams as you running V2.820.0000000.5.R, Build Date: 2021-07-05 firmware (Dahua Logo, Andy cams) and use Firefox. Never had any issue with settings not sticking. FPS and time are stable.

I can't explain it, but my Windows 10 box won't work completely with my 5442s with IE or Chrome. However, it does work with Pale Moon 32 bit - NOT 64 bit. My Linux Mint box works with Chrome. Go figure....
 
When you guys save the settings (4 or 5 times) in IE, do you log out of the camera before closing the browser window? I haven't compared whether logging off before closing makes a difference, but something tells me that it does.

I'm also using Windows and, so far, the 32 bit Pale Moon seems to be working.
