I am curious what is new for 2024. If this is the wrong spot for a post like this, please point me in the right direction, or if I missed a good summary somewhere please let me know! What are the noteworthy new cameras and support gear for this year? What is availability like as well? TIA, Sid

Thanks!

I have a Synology Diskstation 1821+ for video storage. I also have a 2 Surveillance Station software licenses for it. Not sure if all the functions on the PTZ are supported though so, I may need to get Blue Iris or similar software.

Which of those 4MP PTZ cameras is the 'better' pick?

SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ4K45X-AI Superior Night Vision at Long Range 4K 8MP 45x Smart PTZ Ultra Light , 1/1.2'' CMOS 8 mm–360 mm Lens White Light and IR Dual Light Fusion Face Detection and Recognition How heavy is this PTZ? How high does it need to be mounted to get reasonable performance...

I have been out of the market for a while so, I am not current on what near term releases from Dahua are "best". I am in a rural area so, I need good long range performance. My driveway is a 1/4 mile long so, long range detection is needed. I would like to be able to identify faces at 200...

Thank you!

I am looking at the SD5A425GA-HNR PTZ camera and want to connect it to my Synology DS1821 with Surveillance Station. Has anyone done this? I plan on powering it with a good brand name switch that has POE+ power capability. Is this $750 PTZ camera a good match for an installation like this...

Amazon SD5A425XA-HNR Is this one on Amazon the latest version? Any reason to buy direct from your website versus Amazon?

What sort of price point are we looking at with this one? When will it go on sale?

That's a good option too if you need to lose weight. Food shortages have helped stop obesity (or normal BMI) in Venezuela. :headbang:

180£/yr seems high until you get broken into. Not only do you have to replace what was stolen, but you also have to clean up the mess and repair everything that is broken.

:eek: I thought my price for electricity was really high at 17 cents per kWh which is 5 cents higher than what I paid in Arizona. Considering currency conversion, I'm paying about a third of what you are and our local rates are relatively high. Gasoline used to be about 25% of what it costs...

Personally, for that kind of money, I'm waiting for a 4k/8MP version with 1/1.2" sensor for low light performance.

What price range are we in? $2000+, $3000+, 4000+, etc.
