    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.

    5 years have flew by since it was installed. It had all the usual problems of the early SD5 types of this body had i.e. auto tracking 2 problems, insufficient power reboots when tracking and others. Cleaned the camera today and found the 2/3 top part of coating on the plastic lens is gone (makes...

    IPC-PFW8840-A180 with PFA140

    Finally got off my ass and put it up. So far it has exceeded my expectations and just needs fine tuning and adjustments now. I need to find a place to put the mic and print out a clamp for the conduit. I wish it came with Human/Vehicle analytics though. ( Yes I know I need to adjust the splicing...

    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.

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    Now on a serious note this explains why so many listings I had in my watched list were suddenly gone a week ago. Had a bunch of Hikvision and Dahua and manually going to them said they violated rules and were delisted.

    3am Crash

    What do you mean? Sure its needs to be updated but I havent gotten around to it with the other 1000 projects the house needs. Its just an overview camera but the sunflowers are blowing up the the foreground from the IR light. It does the job as I only care about my property.
