Its time i fix my terrible image quality once and for all Dahua 5442T
ok so "day 1" after "zero day" profile setup already hit a snag. I set the cam to auto switch from day to night, using the profile Day/Night profile management setting so i specifically did NOT have to adjust schedule throughout the year, (which is what is it supposed to do) and it did not... -

Wow thanks guys!!! SO right off the top it always escaped me that you must FIRST select EACH of the 3 profiles and save those independently. I can bet this was where things were screwed up last time, i changed the settings based on the recommendations in here, but in a different profile!!! I... -

Indoor camera recommendations
Curious Why not the 4mp version of this same camera ...more resolution and a bigger sensor which makes even more difference no?- mattyp

Very help full thanks guys!! Yeah I am mainly using it for door security (and deterrent for whatever that amounts to these days albeit almost nothing). Like you guys said, it appears I am asking it to do too much. Appreciate the responses.- mattyp

My night identification when there is movement is terrible - I have a 5442T-ZE
After repeated incidents that happen at night it is high time I stop complaining and see if I can fix this. I bought this camera and used the setting recommended in here long ago and hoped it would be a lot better TBH. I know there is a lot of technical stuff. SO for example, this guy drove...- mattyp

Camera will not record the correct time
No. I dont know why that would be required if i am telling it to sync to my PC, and it does so. Why would it switch? I do not even have the cam connected to the external internet. It seems to have fixed it though. Sigh. I realize more I am not the intended market evertime i am in the... -

Camera will not record the correct time

Dahua recommended settings and education needed
Thank you all so very much. This all makes perfect sense as you explained it well as to the "why". I always appreciate that more than just "flip this and that" with no explanation. Now that i understand the "why" it will be a lot more fun to play with it.
