    Ipc-hdw4421emp-as

    Yup, the button is to help unclip the base. So there may or may not be significant performance differences, but we know between these two, yours is metal w/ a sd card slot and mine is plastic w/out a sd card slot. The price difference is pretty significant though... approx $110 vs $70.

    Ipc-hdw4421emp-as

    Here's the 4431C-A. Looks like it's the same size. 4 1/8" diameter (the pic looks skewed from the camera angle). The base and housing is plastic. The ball is metal.

    Dahua or Hikvision IP Camera

    If a built in mic for audio is important to you, consider the Dahua turret. Image quality seems to be very similar between the hik and dahua 4mp turret... However, we know the hik turret has a sturdy metal base while we're still trying to determine which of the Dahuas bases are metal.

    IPC-HDW4421EM-AS Turret Cam

    Based on g_phill's other thread, the Eco Savvy 2 (4421EM-AS) has a metal base, similar to the Hik's base where once you lock them down, the camera isn't moving anywhere. On the Eco Savvy 3 (4431EM), the base is plastic and the camera can be moved with little effort, even after its been secured...

    Ipc-hdw4421emp-as

    Interesting. I must be doing something wrong on aliexpress because no matter how i search, i can't get this cam to show up. I just started a thread trying to compare the differences between this cam vs the 4431, which is the one i just got. The base of mine is plastic and the camera ball...

    Mounting on Vinyl Siding

    Any one try using one of these mounts for cameras attached to vinyl siding? Looks like there should be just enough space to hide the cables and/or the poe splitter. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Builders-Edge-6-625-in-x-6-625-in-001-White-Surface-Mounting-Block-130110006001/100684069

    IPC-HDW4421EM-AS Turret Cam

    Interesting. Didn't know Dahua had another official site. The Ecco Savvy 3 series isn't listed on the English site.

    IPC-HDW4421EM-AS Turret Cam

    Agreed, esp if that's the only difference. So difficult to find info on these things... Thanks!

    IPC-HDW4421EM-AS Turret Cam

    Any one experience with this Dahua cam, IPC-HDW4421EM-AS? I was trying to compare it to the IPC-HDW4431C-A (which is similar to the 4421C-A) that many here are using. Looks like the only difference is the 4421EM-AS has a 50m rated IR and a built-in SD card slot vs the 4431C-A/4421C-A's 30m...

    Where can i get a corner mount

    I've seen a couple other corner mounts posted in this section, but can't find the thread. Wonder where they got there's from. However, the one Nayr posted is very similar in dimensions to the ones in the Aliexpress link.

    Dahua or Hikvision IP Camera

    I have the 4431ca and like it so far, but just found the IPC-HDW4421EM-AS. Looks line the same specs, but with a more powerful IR. I'm on my phone so hard to a comparison right now.

    Camera Mounting Suggestions

    Nice idea Nayr! I was originally only thinking about covering the driveway, but it'll be nice to have the option to pan around the corner. By doing a corner mount, I'll also have more coverage under eaves. Any suggestion on corner mount brackets for my small fairly cam? And where would I put the...

    Tapcon Screws vs Sleeve and Anchor for Brick Wall Installation

    The Tapcon reviews have me worried... mostly negs with either the screw head breaking off or the screw pulling out using the supplied drill bit. The hammer-set nail anchors look interesting. Not sure I'm ready for the long term commitment haha. Looks like the wedge anchor is for concrete...

    Camera Mounting Suggestions

    I have a huisun/imporx mini ptz that i wanted to install on the white vertical panel under the eaves. I wanted to install the cam to a junction box attached to the house, so that if i had to replace the camera with something else down the road, I wouldn't have to drill more holes into the...

    Tapcon Screws vs Sleeve and Anchor for Brick Wall Installation

    I plan to install a turret cam onto an exterior brick wall. I will attach the cam to a generic junction box so that if I decide to swap out the camera at a later point in time, I could simply re-drill holes into the lid. I originally wanted to go with the junction box designed for the camera, in...

    DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A audio problems

    Fastb, I appreciate the feedback. You're helping narrow down the issue. Here's what I know so far: - The mic is definitely functional. - The hum is being introduced by the Klipsch 2.1 system. When I used earbuds as you suggested, the hum doesn't occur. I noticed that when I have the 2.1...

    DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A audio problems

    Haven't tried shielded cables. I tested on a 3ft cat6 cable and a 10ft cat5e cable. I don't understand why there's audio interference during live view, but not during a recording when live view was off. However, If I record while playing live view w/ audio, the interference would also be...

    Router to switch

    Definitely don't run multiple injectors if you can help it. The question should be, do you want a poe or poe+ switch? If you think you will possibly need more than 1 poe+ down the road, it would be cheaper to get a poe+ switch now vs buying multiple poe+ injectors.

    DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A audio problems

    Had a little time to play with it today. So the hum is only there when I'm viewing the live feed with audio enabled. It's not a constant. It starts out low and gets louder. If I'm not viewing the live feed, it appears to record audio fine. Not sure where the interference in coming from. I've...

Clear your browser history and cookies ! 2. Lower the camera MIC volume and the volume of external speakers of your computer! 3,please use...

    DH-IPC-HDW4431C-A audio problems

    Just got mine today and when I view it through the cam's UI, I'm getting a loud hum. Doesn't matter what codec I select or enabling/disabling the noise filter. Tried adjusting the microphone input volume and it didn't help either. If I turn it down, it barely picks up audio. When I view it...
