    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Same. Mine showed up today. Was expecting it to take a couple weeks or so. I don’t have anything ready to set it up yet. Props to Andy though for quick responses, invoicing, and shipping.

    Only if you have storage speed to support it. A typical platter HD can transfer slightly over a 1gbps copper line, but SSD is heavily bottle necked by 1gbps. Depends what you’re doing and how often you move big data internally on your LAN.

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Just ordered one to try out! Wish PayPal was accepted for the item though since I have 5% cashback through discover currently on PayPal. Oh well, I'm anxious to try this camera out, and likely purchase 2-3 more AS or ZE models. Now I just need to talk myself into terminating my cat6 cables in...

    Is there a disadvantage besides price for going with the ZE instead of the AS with the 3 different fixed lens options? I like the flexibility of the ZE, but was curious if a proper fixed lens version is better if my camera placement is ideal for an available fixed lens focal length that is...

    Dang, I missed them. Been waiting for this one to come out. Was going to get 1 to test a new setup to figure out which focal lengths I need (or end up buying all motorized ones) for the rest of the turrets I want to buy.
