I was a bit harsh with my comment on build quality. The only real issue is the plastic dome. The rest of the cam is good...although the internal wire loom should have been better finished. The IR mount is metal and decent quality.Nice review. FYI turret doesn't suffer from poor build quality, its as good as Hikvision turret
What do you like better about the firmware?The firmware on these seems much better than the Longse (which I also have and like) as is the WDR.
Can you confirm the 4mm lens gave you 101 FOV? Your screenshot makes it look in that ballpark but hard to be sure. The listing you posted implies it should be 101 FOV with a 1/1.8" sensor, but I'm 99% sure the sensor in that camera is being used as 1/2" in which case 4mm would give you somewhere around 93 FOV.We had a few email discussions wrt the lense and he assures me that the 4mm lense has a 101 degree FOV. Strange, but I am no expert so guess we will see!
Thanks. I searched all of aliexpress.com for "IMX178 P-Iris" and "IMX178 PIris" and found zero matches so I think we're out of luck on that config for awhile. After some research I found P-Iris uses a different protocol for the 4-pin connector than does DC Auto-Iris so the camera board and firmware would need to be different. I was thinking of trying to find a lens with auto-iris since the SMTSEC box camera claims to control DC auto-iris, but I don't know how much advantage that really gives and I actually worry it might miss something important when security lights come on since auto iris is supposed to be slower to adjust. People seem to be getting fine video on 3.6mm fixed iris lenses and my application isn't that demanding. My main concern is quality of night video and since fixed iris lenses are typically full open, they're no different than an auto iris that will tend to always go full open at night anyway.Hi Guys,
Dragon, I think it is more than 90, but hard to tell a few degrees diff now that it is mounted.
I do not think that lens combo will work either. Pitty they are not responding to you questions well...I got good responses from them. I just checked my emails and I did ask about p-iris but never got a response...sorry.
Really keen to see if you can get onje though so please keep trying as the spec's say it's supported...so hopefully it is as it'd be a great combo!
So, Daniel Guo claims you can buy a P-Iris board camera. Here's our conversation:Really keen to see if you can get onje though so please keep trying as the spec's say it's supported...so hopefully it is as it'd be a great combo!
P-IRIS lens is $85 extra but are you actually supporting it in firmware? DC Auto Iris vs P-Iris use each pin on the 4 pin-connector differently so they aren't interchangeable physically, and firmware would need to work differently for each type of lens.
Here you're selling an IP board camera with the P-Iris lens: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/P-Iris-auto-focus-Motorized-Zoom-Lens-RS422-RS485-1-2-Sony-IMX178-CMOS-5-0MP/1510038_32549597048.html
Yet the board is listed as controlling a DC Auto iris lens with CS mount, while the lens is P-Iris with M14 mount. CS and M14 are not compatible mounts.
So he claims they'll swap the CS mount for M14 on the board camera (makes sense since they're selling them as a unit). He didn't mention how they handle the compatibility with DC auto vs P-Iris Auto pins... but again, since they're sold as a unit in that listing I would hope they supply hardware/firmware that makes the P-Iris work. For $242 plus the cost of an enclosure I'm not sure if I'm willing to risk it vs buying $160 from Amazon (without P-iris). At the same time Aliexpress is offering a sale for $217 right now if purchased through their app (which asks for permissions to read everything on your phone so I installed it on a spare tablet after carefully deleting all personal data - also enabled Privacy Guard on the app which is a cyanogenmod OS feature). Decisions decisions...dear chris
thanks
you can order from this link
when we ship we will change the CS mount to M14 mount, so the P iris lens can work on the Camera module.
if you need to add POE
order from this link

What?! I thought YOU were going to be the guinea pig! :joyous:The board supports P-Iris though a different socket to the std DC Iris (J4).
Go on, grab it as I really want to hear how it goes
