    It does say built in mic in the listing.

    Okay, now I'm confused. On the amazon listing it has built in mic. Same model numbers but different branding, one has a mic the other doesn't? I just want to be certain before I buy these tonight...

    So I've decided to go with three different cameras to start out with. https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/2mp-varifocal/ https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/ipc-t5442t-ze/...

    Wow thanks for forwarding me that thread when I get some time later tonight I’ll read through it thoroughly. I see they touched on the 5442 as well there. That was another one I was curious about. They are so highly regarded here in the bullet form. They are undoubtedly going to be in my...

    That’s how our current camera works too. If there is any type of movement we get an alert. Which is fine with me. I get alerts all day long on my phone from other locations in the house as well which I actually don’t mind. It lets me know what’s going on while I’m at work especially when I’m on...

    This is a nice looking unit too. I do remember looking at the comparison pictures you mentioned before. This one would be a good candidate for me to try as well with the addition of the supplemental IR light. The cost of them is fair enough for me to be willing to give them a try.

    I think this is one of the first cams I checked out. I’m believe I’m going to try one of these.

    I've spent the past four days scouring this forum and Dahua's website. My eyes and brain need a break. I'm trying to find indoor cameras that check all the boxes. In ceiling mount. Trying to keep things as concealed as possible but if I can't do it so be it. Microphone Good night time...

    Vertical Mount PTZ?

    You should be able to flip the camera 180° so the tilt works downward. I was just looking at the in ceiling 2mp PTZ and saw it has a 180° auto flip. I have 2 locations where I won’t be able to gain in ceiling access and will have to mount them on the wall and was wondering the same thing. Please...

    Hello from Eastern USA, looking to gain knowledge so I don't waste money.

    Oddly enough I'm reading your tire slashing thread as you write this. The whole reason for me pulling the trigger on this system is because of people putting nails under my tires of my vehicles. I hate suburban life and can't wait to move to acreage.

    Hello from Eastern USA, looking to gain knowledge so I don't waste money.

    I should be good for the time being. I'm going to start with four outdoor cams and two or three indoor. I'd like to have one or two more outside but houses close to each other and a rather large tree directly in the center of my house are going to make placement tricky. I'd love to have a plate...

    Hello from Eastern USA, looking to gain knowledge so I don't waste money.

    Well I didn't get the Unifi Switch I got the TP Link TL-SL1218MP. BNIB for $95 I thought the extra money savings could be spent on cameras instead of a POE switch. I hope I wasn't wrong. I have all cat 6 solid core from when I re cabled my house when we moved in 2 years ago. But I think I am...

    Hello from Eastern USA, looking to gain knowledge so I don't waste money.

    Yes, I did mean POE. I bought a TP Link TL-SL1218MP. Grabbed it on Ebay for $95 BNIB

    Hello from Eastern USA, looking to gain knowledge so I don't waste money.

    Hi, everyone! This will be my first camera setup, I have gone as far to build out a dedicated PC and buy an IP switch and have stopped there until I can figure out exactly what cameras to purchase so I don't waste time and money on junk I won't be satisfied with. So far just browsing around here...

    Is there a such thing as a camera system that is not complete trash? Suggestions?

    I just joined this forum, and wow that is some good info for a newbie.
