    I have analysis, paralysis on PC choice... Help please!

    Thanks @mat200, my assumption is that CPAI will benefit from GPU for faster recognition etc. I have 16 cameras using CPAI and when someone enters my property, there will likely be 6 cameras triggered within a 30 second timeframe. When this occurs, the current BI PC spikes CPU at 100% until the...

    Problem with SSA cutting out

    Yes, I saw the info stating that some controls are unavailable if it's turned on. Turned it on and saw exposure go gray. Since I use manual exposures for day and night, this is a no go. Thanks for the reply!

    Storing snapshots on a local NAS using the new GUI struggles

    Yes, exactly. I replaced all my 5442s with 54IRs and I'm missing this function. Looking at the documentation, FTP is available for storing alert recordings but not snapshots.

    I didn't see a way to do that. Only option for Auto Upload is HTTP unless I'm missing it.

    No idea. Hopefully someone has been able to do this, perhaps using a different method.

    Storing snapshots on a local NAS using the new GUI struggles

    I need someone to explain how this works. I had IVS tripwires on my previous 5442 cameras that would store a snapshot when triggered to my local NAS. In the new GUI on my 54IRs, I can't get this to work. I must be missing something. What I've done so far. I walk through this area and the camera...

    Is there a trick to doing tripwire with the new GUI?

    Speaking of which, what's the most compatible browser on a Mac to use for the new GUI?

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    Low voltage landscape lighting transformers front and back. From each transformer I buried the wiring to each location to power the IRs.

    I'm using this 10-watt Tendelux IR illuminators. I spray paint them to blend in with where they are mounted, usually tree trunks. I probably use a dozen of these on my property.

    Yes! Here's that view from the same location with the 54IR. I don't use the onboard IR for any of my new 54IRs, Tendelux illuminators instead.

    I bought 10 new 54IRs from Andy to replace my 5442s. I couldn't be happier! Take a look at two different locations showing the night picture quality using identical exposure settings below. Cam 1 5442 Cam 1 54IR Cam 2 5442 Cam 2 54IR

    I'm really impressed with the IPC-T54IR-ZE camera. It definitely seems to be an upgrade compared to my 5442s with night image quality. I'm still trying to dial in my exposure settings. How do these look for Day and Night? Thanks!

    New GUI "Working Mode" explanation?

    Thanks @wittaj. Sounds like Customized Scene if you use a Day and Night profile and have a way to automate the profile change. Day/Night switch if you just let the camera decide when to change based on lighting. About right?

    IPC-T5442T-ZE vs. IPC-T54IR-ZE

    @wittaj I read your review of this camera here. It sounded like night performance was better compared to the 5442. Is that right? Thanks! Also, is this the current firmware?
