Camera Recommendations

Thanks @mat200, I assumed they'd have email notifications turned on but a message @ them never hurts as well.

I'm lamenting the loss of older models as I search through posts and online stores so thx for the heads-up. I'm also lamenting the old prices. Holy smokes have things gone up since I built my systems. I'm also missing things that aren't available anymore, like fixed focus long lensed models. I just noticed one 16mm cam has dropped out at work. Even if Dahua/Hik/etc decided for some reason they didn't want to offer them anymore you'd think that some smaller company would add 16mm/25mm/whatever lenses to some cameras and resell them. I've done a few swaps myself with mixed to poor results due to stuff glued together, wires getting twisted off on reassembly, etc.

yup .. prices getting crazy ..

DIY mods is fun .. until you mess up, lol

In general swapping out fixed lenses should not be too hard

( I am not happy how hard it is to upgrade SSD and RAM on newer laptops .. man what a pita compared to the older ones I have )
