Is an upgrade worth it?
Both the fixed and varifocal will work well, but I have found the fixed to be more robust at night. If you have a dark environment and must rely on the built in IR, it's the fixed for the win. An advantage of the varifocal is that it will reach beyond the fixed, so if you need greater than the...- tmxv4128

Access camera footage on Mac
Uh oh, you are going to have problems running anything that won't crash. I agree, Macs are the best, but with some things I still have to use a PC with Internet Explorer, which is why my older MacBook Pro is running BootCamp so it can have Windows 10 installed on it. A couple of my cameras... -

Access camera footage on Mac
Yep, SmartPSS is the best option for us Mac users. Hopefully you are using a newer Mac because the Intel version is really slow and buggy. M1 version works great. -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
Yes, I think that is good advice. I'll do that tomorrow when it is easy for me to take the camera down. Thanks for the suggestion. -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
That's interesting. I purchased my camera a couple weeks ago, and it came installed with: 3.120.0000000.19.R Build Date: 2023-03-01 Hmmm, I wonder if it is a firmware glitch that is causing the problems. Besides trying Internet Explorer, I also just now downloaded Pale Moon, and the same... -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
Thanks for the info. I'll keep trying. The strange thing is that I cannot get the motion detection area to display on two different PCs (desktop and laptop) with both using Windows 10 and running Internet Explorer. Shows up fine using Google Chrome on a Mac, but the settings don't transfer to... -

Question for you... You mentioned that you can get SMD to work in the middle of the camera. Are you able to draw in the area of motion detection? I have tried everything, but I can't get it to work. Since IVS seems to be useless, I wanted to see if "motion" is an option for this camera. -

I have had the same exact experience with the cameras only detecting people and vehicles in the middle, stitched area. This happens day and night. Thought I was the only one who experienced this. I too have tried trip wires and intrusion areas with varying sensitivity settings. Never could get... -

IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues
As Looney suggested, try CRB rather than VBR. Can you put a memory card in the camera and try recording to it to rule out a cable problem? -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
For anyone on the fence and debating whether to get a IPC-Color 4K-X or a IPC-Color 4K-180 I made this quick comparison video (4K). At the street intersection of my house I have had someone crash through my fence and have also had a car-thief ditch a car in front of my house, so I decided to... -

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera
This worked perfectly to get Internet Explorer back, and it only took a few seconds. Instead of changing the name of the BHO folder, I simply emptied the contents into the trash and restarted. Still can't draw the area inside the motion detection window though. I know the problem is not just on... -

Thanks for the helpful reply. I did the one suggestion back when I first had this trouble, and it worked, but then I assume another update changed it back again. Ha ha, a Mac user all his life trying to navigate a PC with Windows is like driving in San Francisco. You can always see your... -

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did read through the thread multiple times and did several searches to seek a solution, but unfortunately not any success. I am primarily a Mac user who bought a PC with Windows 10 and installed windows on another Mac with BootCamp so I could configure my 49225XA-HNR... -

I am attempting to set up motion detection for a Dahua IPC-Color4K-T180, but I have run into a difficulty. Hoping someone can assist me. My main computer is a Mac, but for several of my cameras (like my PTZ's) I use a PC with the Edge browser in IE mode or Chrome using the IE Tab. Here's my... -

Are the 5442's still best? or time for 4k variants...
Yes, I have read many positive reviews about the 5442H-ZHE VF. Sounds like a winner. I just got a IPC-Color4X-B180 and want to try it for one of my street-view cameras. Currently I am using a Color4K-X in that location (have all three versions: 2.8, 3.6, and 6mm). Plenty of light from one street... -

Are the 5442's still best? or time for 4k variants...
I have several of the varifocal 5442 cameras, and they have been the best all around camera, especially in low-light situations. However, for the heck of it I bought a 6mm 5442 to try in place of the varifocal 5442, and it is so much better. Not only can it see better in the darkness of my... -

Wide vertical angle camera
Your post is very helpful. I am going to have to try this with another camera. I have been using a 4:3 aspect ratio camera at my front door, and your suggestion sounds a lot better. Today was the first time in years that a UPS delivery driver actually delivered a package to my front door, and as...- tmxv4128

Options for mounting a IPC-Color4K-T180
Thank you for your kind reply. Yes, when I saw that the PFA137 was the recommended box for the camera, it seemed that the only difference between the 137 and 130 was the depth, since they both have the same screw hole pattern. -

Options for mounting a IPC-Color4K-T180
I currently have a IPC-Color4K-X mounted on a pole with a PFA130-E junction box and PFA152-E pole mount. I am considering swapping out the camera for a IPC-Color4K-T180. My question is: will the Color4K-T180 attach to the PFA130-E box I have mounted? I do have a PFA121 box that I could replace... -

N55DU82 Firmware advice
Very good advice to follow, but since I had an unused N55DU82 that I was not using, I decided to give the newer 3/07/2023 firmware a try. It worked fine. Looks like it updated a few features on the camera. I applied the update to the other four cameras, and they seem to be working well also. I...
