@giomania - Thank you very much for that confirmation.

One more question, seeing at this camera seems to be one of the most highly recommended models (HDW5231R-Z and the ZE version) for us "regular Joes" who just want good night time vision etc, is there a similar "most highly rated" one in the PTZ section that you would steer people towards?

I don’t know, but I think @nayr reviewed a Dahua PTZ.

What is the main difference between HDW5231R-Z and the ZE version?

How do some of the 4k cameras compare to HDW5231?

Here's a shot of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z (above) ikvision DS-2CD2385FWD-I 8MP (below) ointed at the same lawn from different sides. Hikvision has a 4mm lens, Dahua is probably zoomed in a little more. Very little ambient light, so mostly lit up by the IR of both cameras (each shot has the other camera in frame). Shutter for both is 1/60s.

Not a fully fair comparison, but it gives you some idea.

This is a camera a bought 3+ years ago (no clue the specific camera other than dahua). This was before I got on this forum and had a clue. @victor18 held my hand getting things set up and has been extremely helpful. Hat's off to him and this forum. The cameras have been good for a while but I'm ready to reinvest/upgrade.

These asshats have gotten into my cars more than 3 times in the past year and I'm sick of it. Yes- lock the car- but I don't have anything to steal and have too many kids going in and out of the cars. Time to upgrade and I've bought 3 new starlight cameras. Can't wait to see how they perform. I'm concerned the streetlight, which is in the background and has 2 other cameras on it (which is where the other 2 cameras are going), is going to produce too much light and not get the best performance out of the starlight camera?

"This happened couple nights ago"

This happens in my neighborhood quite often. I have been upgrading my cameras in order to get a better facial ID. This guy is pretty well outfitted for his "job". I could not tell by the pictures but most of the time they wear gloves at least where I live. I wonder if the beard if the beard was fake. Also it looked like he wore glasses. Maybe part of his disguise.

Yep seen their site but wondering if he as in Andy gave any discount to members here hence asking how much did people pay if purchased from there.

Thanks
