    Dahua 5442/T54IR vs the rest

    I own several older 5442's and am looking to upgrade some older Dahua 2MP models. Mostly these are in areas of zero ambient light, some do have assistance from 4000-5000 lumen PIR floods. Have been scanning the forum today and also picked up on the Color4k and Procolor series, seems like the...

    Thoughts on PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE vs 5442-Z4E-S3

    Sorry for the long title, currently running several of the original 5442 turrets and varifocal bullets. The 5849 180 degree units in 3.6mm appear to use a similar (same?) sensor. Other than potential for fish eye effect on stitched images, what are thoughts on these units from those who have...

    Color4K-X 6mm FOV vs T5442T-ZE

    I plan to replace existing T5442T-ZE with Color4K-X in 6mm, but I'm not sure if FOV will meet my needs. I read a good thread from Alaska Country (Color 4K-X-6MM vs Color 4K-X-3.6MM (HFW5849T1-ASE-LED) Side by Side Test Images), comparing 4K-X in 3.6mm and 6mm. Also one good thread comparing...

    Would you recommend a firmware update? 5442

    Hi all, I have a 5442 that I bought from EmpireTech on Amazon. While looking at the Dahua wiki, I noticed there seems to be a "new Web UI" for some Dahua cameras (DahuaWiki) My 5442 definitely features what is shown on Dahua's website as "old Web UI", and lists this under Version Information...

    Impressed with HFW5442E-ZE

    I am well acquainted with the 5231 cameras and also 49225 PTZ which is low light king even compared to 5231, I think this has something to do with IR power and also better quality lens on the 49225. Anyway, I got a 5442 with 2.8 lens installed a few days ago and been pretty impressed so long as...

    HDW5442TM-ASE exposure/highlights

    Managed to get a couple of these installed at last, any tips on settings, I am struggling during sunlight to stop blown highlights/over exposure. I run manual exposure and short of reducing the exposure compensation it is still a struggle compared to my 5231's. Also tried WDR but I'm not a fan...

    Blue Iris Compatible setup for Dahua HW5442TM-AS-LED

    Just picked up a Dahua 5442 from EmpireAndy, and I'm using BI as my NVR. BI doesn't recognize the camera other than a generic ONVIF camera. Seems BI only has six models of Dahua. I have a bit of a video lag. Just wondering if there is a more compatible profile I could be using. So far the...
