My IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 bullet managed to get a little moisture into the camera body. A few days ago an icicle formed on the front and I suspect this somehow channeled water to a weak point in the waterproofing because right now there is condensation inside the glass directly in front of the lens. The other day it was even messing with the light sensor somehow, causing the camera to be stuck in color mode unless toggled manually (it has since recovered and switches on its own normally). I don't know if water was shorting out the sensor or just reflecting light some funny way to trick it into thinking it was day when it was actually night.
Anyway, most of my other cams are turrets or much smaller bullets that don't stick out as far. This Z5 bullet sticks out enough that it catches a lot more drips off the garage roof. I set this Z5 around 21mm or so. Unfortunately I haven't found any more compact options with this level of zoom. The common varifocal turret isn't enough, maxing out at around 12mm.
Anyone know of a higher-zoom Dahua starlight turret model that I might have missed, or that might be in the pipeline?
