Spec sheet here: Link Manual here: Link I struggled with the IR bleed on the dome of this camera, as you will see in the video's. I was never able to solve it. You can also see that sunlight cause's oddities on the dome in the daytime. The dome also seemed to not agree with the 2.8mm lens, you can see some distortion on the sides of the frame, that was from the dome. Also of note, the audio was not nearly as good on this camera as it is on many others I've tested. Out of character for Dahua. Yes, the noise filter was turned off. Edit: 4/30/21 The above was caused by a mistake I made in mounting the cam for testing, disregard, it is not accurate. The camera works fine. Audio is good, for 1\2.7" sensor, it does respectable job after dark. AI features work as they should, SMD works as it should. I have replaced the original videos I had posted with new. Night settings, First video is with the exposure settings at default, IE auto. This second video is with the exposure set to 1/60, 54 brightness, 56 contrast, 35% noise reduction, Gain 52. Daytime
