    Yet another Rekor Scout price increase to $12 per camera

    I have 2 cams so should be around$24. Was just billed $17.60 yesterday and $16 the prior month. Downloading the bills shows they switched to an itemized line per days. Bill says Feb 16-25 and Apr 02 -15. :idk:

    How many PTZ's are you running?

    I'm not. 1 SD4 on each corner of the house (4), 1 SD4 more below for LPR duty and 1 SD5 8MP in the middeish for auto tracking. I have a ton of newer than my current setup of Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, Axis, Samsung, I-pro/Panasonic PTZs to be put up this year.

    New Camera time?

    The coated lens has deteriorated from the sun. Could polish it off and it'll be usable a little longer but might need frequent polishing. I've not seen Dahua sell replacement lenses on here.

    Probably. Other people in the community know him more than me and even the police know him. That was his second time on this street where I caught him and was arrested with tons of stuff. Some 40 year old white guy Thats just the PTZ internal temp.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    If the stock photo is real it does appear quite a large lens compared to my tandemvu in the same body. The blacked out part of the glass lens is much smaller on this one compared to mine. These bodies a bit larger than the SD5 too

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Its different because this one has a much larger lens/aperture than normal and probably why the optical zoom is only at 12x because that lens is eating up the space. Looks interesting though at least

    IPC-PFW8840-A180 with PFA140

    Yeah I have two old ass 49225/49212 PTZ currently doing that job. I just have like 100 projects in the queue and all new cams laying around ready to be put up. Those dark spots are because I purposely aim my IR lights away but I'm redoing them with narrower focus when I get to them next year.

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I just followed the method earlier in the thread I dont remember the exact post. I don't use the wifi and only POE. Yes it did add the very basic Dahua IVS but I barely did use it in the end and they are gonna be replaced with PTZs with IVS Human detections soon.
