Sorry new user.
Just to confirm, these are the same as the Dahua 5442?

Get them while they're still hot
Can't wait for the new Amazon best book of the month that'll come out in four or five years: Dahua: The Lost Decade . . . A case study of how management refused to advance their camera line since 2021.
 
Is the HDW5442T-ZE-S3 different to the HDW5442TP-ZE-S3, or is it just different regional naming convention for same camera ?
 
That's sad, I love my 5442s and was looking to add more later this year. What would be a good replacement?

Currently IMHO there isn’t.
The 54PRO AND 3 series TIOC Pro have inadequate sensors.

The 7 series would be my choice. But they’re pricy

The 5442 will likely be supported via FW for a while and I have quite a few that are still doing fine 5-7 years later.

Wait for the next generation of sensors unless you just like buying new cameras every 18-24 months

Heads up, price increases have taken effect, the 5442 is $30 more now on Amazin

Saw that. Was just looking the other day to buy some more; should have pulled trigger then. For those of us that like to plan less, a varifocal saves our bacon lol.
