Hi All,

Looking for something with external mic input, IP67, Starlight sensor, 2-4 megapixels, and optical zoom, 12 or more times would be nice.

Limit about $300 USD.

Any suggestions? The trusty 5231R is great but without an external mic input its out. Something along those lines though

thanks

Hi @dastrix

iirc the 8xxx series ( pro series ) has more models with external microphone input.

THanks mat200, would the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E be a comparable model?

Hi @dastrix

Thanks to Wildcat_1 review and EmpireTecAndy providing a sample, this maybe worth considering:
( as I see there is a audio in / out connectors on it )

Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+
Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

Dahua OEM international model equiv. IPC-HFW5442-ZE

Take a look at the review and see if it is a viable option.
