If you’re talking about in the context of this review specifically, these are the same cams just that @EMPIRETECANDY model number is IPC-T5842T-ZE but the actual Dahua cam model is the DH-IPC- HDW5842T-ZE-S2. Hence I list both model numbers.
In terms of Dahua and how it uses S2. Usually an iterative release of a model and often times comes where internals have been updated no matter how small, such as changes to memory provider, SOC tweaks and other internals. Sometime can lead to larger user facing changes but generally not as that is handled by newer models etc.Thank you for the clarification. I don't the "s" or "2" defined in the Dahua wiki. What does the S2 mean?
Anytime, just reach outThanks brother, still learning. Appreciate the infos.
I generally recommend people either run the sunset utility often mentioned here OR personally I setup the individual day/night profiles schedules and do it that way rather than letting the cam decide. If you need any assistance dialing in just DM me, happy to help.I ordered two of these bad boys to replace my 5231 that were I think 6 years old. So far I'm liking them.
I've been playing around with the settings for the past few days. I think I've got the Daytime dialed in with some great results. Still working on the Nighttime settings.
@Wildcat_1 I've noticed that the cameras are having a little hard time staying between day/night mode in the transition times. I noticed this morning I had a bunch of alerts at sunrise. I've just noticed now that with the sunset also It's going back and forth between day & night mode. I guess it's having a hard time deciding whether to stay in color or B/W LOL
I've only noticed it after messing around with the settings. It wasn't doing this while on Default settings.
