I'm running a few BI installs at various locations, just picked up a place that I doubt I'll be keeping long, but want some cameras for piece of mind. I typically get IPC-HFW71242H-Z-X from empiretech, but they're sold out and I don't really feel like waiting. This: camera (IP67,IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3) seems to fit the bill as a very good camera that I can get fairly quickly and at a lower cost.
Anyone have any experience with these?

I have a couple, probably two of the best cameras in my arsenal. They do not have audio onboard. But i link a nearby camera to stitch that audio into this cam. these cars are about 80 -100 feet from the cams.

Good to know, I'll go ahead and buy them. @flinstone61, which camera do you use for audio? not really a big deal for me, but curious.
 
its linked to an amcrest ip5m 1179ew on the driveway. i suppose i should revisit that now that I have a 180 degree running between the two Z4's .
And don't ask me why my GF came home from a garage sale with 24" x 24" ceramic floor tiles, and left them out on the table, which is another piece of shit the other sister brought home from a garage sale 2 year ago.
I might as well throw a used Washing machine out there to add to the Decor,

lol, I just emailed andy, what a great guy, he told me while those cameras are great, he could sell me something cheaper that will give me almost the same performance.
