    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    Agreed for sure, I’d order a dozen of them for the new house we are building. However barring any major announcement I’ll stick with tried and true.

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    And no VF Turret option, allegedly a bullet will be out though.

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Thanks @looney2ns - since this to date does not have the vari-focal option, has the bullet version been reviewed yet? Naming convention or model ID ? This particular camera may work in 1 or 2 locations but more likely than not, we are going to really need a vari focal camera in most locations...

    Thanks Andy. We will have a fairly dark area as in no street lights but there will be exterior LED lights which we can leave on at night to help. You mentioned it may take considerable time to tweak these new cams and get them dialed in. Typically is that done with firmware updates or in the...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I tend to agree, I'd thought (my bad) this would be considerably better and no pun intended, but I'd anticipated seeing a night and day difference from the 2MP Starlight variant. Perhaps settings adjustments for firmware mods will make a considerable difference. It'd be great to have someone (no...

    Did I Miss Something or Is Eco Savvy 4.0 (Pro AI) New ?

    Agreed, Andy what are naming conventions of the bullet models in the Stalight+ series? I’d like to have a look at them. Really wish they’d have retained the VF turret and used the same case which would make it easy for upgrade and owners use same base etc.

    Thanks Looney, looking forward to seeing night video and as more versions of them (Starlight +) are released, I.e varifocal and motorized zoom bullets etc IR version. Andy may be able to chime in here but curious if the lineup may be available with a black finish? My guess is the Starlight+ will...

    Another option is to spread a few bags of milorganite on your property when they’re having a family cookout, they’ll just love it lol. But soak it good !

    Outstanding talk about great timing, that’s a beautiful thing. By the time they hit test benches and are reviewed we should be well into our new build.

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    Great review I’m really anxious to see other IR cams in this lineup. Our house will be in a very dimly lit area. I just don’t forsee this version being practical in our area without looking like Yankee Stadium.

    Tariffs and Dahua

    Like anything else regardless where there’s a will there’s a way. Ban or not folks will figure out a way to get them into the US albeit on a small scale. Supply and demand but I’m thinking it’ll iron itself out over time.

    Exactly, you’ll wait forever for the new Startlight 2+ that can see a fly in total darkness at a mile out. Bigger better faster and cheaper. Planned obsolescence.

    @looney if you would during your video sessions let's see just how good the results are in extremely low light scenarios. Very curious. Our new house is going to be in an area with very little if any street lights at night although I do have the exterior house lights. Specs are pretty impressive...
