    Want to see comparison pictures of my $47 Ebay 15 LED IR illuminator?

    I believe badmop is offering to show us how well the light he bought works. He's not trying to sell anything.

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    No I didn't, but they did offer me the choice. Approx 60° was about right for where I'm going to use it so I stuck with the 5mm. POE was $8 extra. I needed the IP rating too, shame the turret doesn't have it. They've been good to deal with so far, but as I say, it hasn't even shipped yet...

    I'm following this with great interest thanks klaspica! I have one of the bullet versions on order (yet to ship...), based on your initial pics and opinion it's looking good. I'll hold of bugging you with questions until you've had a chance to spend more time with it... :)

    Caught in the act!! Huisun mini ptz 10x zoom

    Only 2 should light up at a time. 2 of them are focused for long distance, 2 for closer/wide angle. As you zoom the camera in and out you should see the LEDs swap between the 2 pairs. BTW, the seetings you have in your screenshot are for the strength/intensity of the LEDs when they are lit, not...

    2mp 1080p Low lux Hisilicon POE camera

    Why is it (seemingly) always the left edge/side that's out of focus on these cheaper wide angle cameras... I wonder if the narrower FOV versions would be free of this. What's the web interface like? Clunky or does it seem like a pro job? Thanks for the info Q!

    "SLACK" > Have you tried it yet?

    My opinion is a resounding yes Q, if you can get over the ever present problem of introducing anything new: making people use it. With a bit of time and familiarity with the app most people won't look back, but getting over the initial resistance is frustrating. I haven't used AIM for years...

    "SLACK" > Have you tried it yet?

    Have been using Slack daily for over a year for work comms. It's a very good way for teams of people to keep in the loop, and also works well between individuals. There is also a growing list of integrations available which helps combine data and communications pretty seamlessly from other apps...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Thanks for that. I have some turrets under eaves and some very exposed to the weather, and where I could see this being most useful is in an exposed position. Turret would be preferable, so I'll be interested to see what you reckon when you get yours.

    @klasipca no where in the specs/description can I see any mention of an IP/weatherproof rating. Do you know if they're supposed to be "OK outside"?

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    I was just doing similar here: http://www.scantips.com/lights/fieldofview.html So that's pretty much spot on with the 2.8mm, 1/3" in a typical Hik 3MP. Good stuff. I'm keeping fingers crossed it will rock, and work with BI. BTW, like your evolving avatar... :)

    With that large sensor, I assume the FOV with 3.6mm would be pretty wide?

    Cam Location Pic (2.8mm or 4mm)?

    Razer, I have a couple of 3MP turrets I rotate and then set accordingly in the web UI to get a portrait view. Would this not achieve the hallway view you'd like?

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    Agreed . If there's something going on and you're waiting 10+ seconds for the cam to pan 180 degrees it seems like a lifetime. There's a reason speed domes are as fast as they are. All the same these are great cams and a brilliant option compared to many fixed alternatives.

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I've just installed and configured a 4x, 1.3mp version. I have a couple of the 10x 2mp, and I have to say I'm really surprised at how poor the image quality is with the 1.3mp/720p, especially when zoomed out. And auto-focus is hit and miss. Of course I knew ther'd be less detail, but I run other...

    Would you buy from this seller?

    What turns me off them is their heavy use of terror scare tactics, and the way they've gone about it, to try and sell the product.
