That's about 10 meters. The camera is zoomed in a little. It will be replaced with the IPC-HFW5442H-ZHE-S3 in the next few days. The 3849r1 camera is still hanging there.
Thats a great camera as well - HFW5442H-ZHE-S3
So yeah I'd do the Z4 then

Okay, thank you very much. Then I'll buy a Z4e from Andy soonThats a great camera as well - HFW5442H-ZHE-S3

I can buy the camera on Alibaba from a dealer who orders it directly from Dahua. That's how I ordered the other Wizmind-S cameras. Original, worldwide version for 228$. I don't think Andy even offers this model.Yes
Just a matter of price. Dahua doesnt sell direct to consumers. Get it from Andy @EMPIRETECANDY

Unfortunately, the 74 is too expensive for me. I have read that on my model the Iris Control P-Iris adjusts itself automatically when the light changes and the image thus remains clear. According to my information, the Z4e model does not have this function.That camera's housing is bit bigger than the IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3, no big difference, so we keep to sell this one.
As many of us are aware, Dahua decided to keep the same model numbers of some of their most popular models like the 5442-Z12E and the 5442 series cameras, but they have been updated with a newer GUI and specs that on paper show better than the previous version as was discussed in this thread even though they have the same size sensor as the previous generation.
I previously did a mini-review of the new 5241-Z12E here, so now it is time for the 5442-Z4E comparison between the old Z4E and the new Z4E.
Many of the specs remained the same. Similar to the 5442 series with...
We sell this housing at 7 series super model.

Installation would not be a problem. I already have the non-Z4he version. I often have problems with the lighting conditions so P-Iris is important to me. However, it won't be the last camera I buy. I hope a 1/1.8 4mp 2.7 mm-12.0 mm, 2.7 mm-13.5 mm Tioc camera will come out in the future.Camera size is bit bigger and the installation is not too easy compare to the B54IR-Z4E housing, not every house can put such big camera on it. The B54IR-Z4E can give great day and night pics, that is good enough for most users. the 2nd best bullet we are selling, No.1 is the IPC-B52IR-Z12E.
7 series is the killer. But if you think that P iris is important you sure can select that camera, working good.
