Well I think with the recent import ban on Dahua and Hikvision cameras, this thread needs to be revived lol I doubt anyone can fill the vacuum in time. Maybe some new companies will form to build higher quality cameras. I think it's time to lean into Honeywell I guess... Isn't Honeywell one...

Hmm well that's disappointing Is there a Dahua turret that has a larger sensor than the 4k one linked to for $240? Or are they planning on coming out with a newer model over the next year? I'm not in a rush yet and want 4k for the detail as well as the best low-lighting video I can get. As I...

Ok you're right and I know 4k sensor size plays a big role in overall quality. I think sticking with the Dahua brand is going to get me the highest quality camera for the most reasonable price correct? I want 4k, but want a good size sensor so that it is can produce high-quality low light...

I want the highest quality video I can get and 4k is common enough to be affordable. Buy once and cry once and I'll be set for years with video technology So I'm open to turrets/eyeballs or domes depending on if I go PTZ or not. But I'd rather have 4k over PTZ I think. But if I can find 4k...

Got it, makes sense. Are all PTZ turrets always a lot bigger like these: https://www.amazon.com/Dahua-Technology-8A840WANF-Starlight-Analytics/dp/B0843KS5GH Seems if this is the 4k PTZ option, it's probably well out of my price range right now. @ $3500 for a 2020 model But will highly...

Ok I think I want to stick with a turret from all of my research I think for a few more dollars it's worth upgrading to the 4k version of this camera. I really want the best video quality I can get. Is there a thread on here for that particular 4k turret? When I see "two-way" listed, is that...

Hmm I thought these were 4k, are they 1080p then? How much are the 8mp models with 4k? When is the 4k models with varifocal lenses supposed to come out? Do these have 2 way microphones? The turrets themselves aren't motorized right, just the varifocal lens?

Great thank you! I will probably end up with these turrets, as the price is in my budget of affordability, and I know from my prior research these are very high-quality and loaded with features. But just curious, is there a newer camera model out that is a big upgrade over this one, without a...

Just curious if anyone has heard any more about this and whether they are using the hisilicon chips or not?

Are these still one of the best turret option cameras available? How much are they these days and what is Empire's alibaba store address for these?

That sounds like a pretty reasonable price for this quality of a camera. I'll be keeping on eye on things as the stock starts to be available. I'm not in a rush, so I can wait a bit. Thanks for the info!

Yeah but it's really alarming that the Chinese government is part owners in Dahua & also Hikvision, which are clearly the 2 biggest and most advanced manufactures in the world... They've said we've had microphones in our dishwashers for over 2 decades, one could only imagine the backdoors the...

Thanks for that update and info! They are certainly made by Dahua according to @looney2ns - the real question remains is if in fact they are doing what you suggest and using these hisilicon chips and producing them elsewhere, just under Dahua specs in order to make them NDAA compliant. Down...

Thanks for all of that info @sebastiantombs ! @looney2ns - that was speculated in the thread that had mentioned/suggested them as an NDAA compliant camera. But Honeywell apparently swears up and down that they are NDAA compliant, but if they're actually made by Dahua and Dahua is banned, then...

Jumping in this thread as I'm extremely interested in these cameras. What's the price point on them? The AliExpress listing says sold out and doesn't show the price any longer. Are these better to use with an NVR by Dahua, or would they also work well using Blue Iris? I see this mention...

Hmm well I appreciate that detailed overview. I am heavily looking into the new 4mp 1/1.8" Dahua turrets from the other thread we're discussing. I've also seen someone mention there is a Honeywell 30 Series that is actually NDAA compliant and has pretty good specs, but still only a 1/2.8"...

Ahh I overlooked that link in your post, thanks for point it out! Gonna tear through that thread now lol Thanks. Any idea on the price point? Is the night vision on these B&W or colored? I would prefer colored if possible, but these cameras seem to be super high spec on everything else and...

Are you speaking specfically of turrets or domes? Do you have a link to these specific cameras so I can see them and check out all of the specs more? I would highly prefer turrets with these specs. I haven't decided between fixed lens or varifocal yet. Suggestions? Is the price...

Any ideas or rumors on when these will be available? I'm not in any rush and have some time to wait. Getting a turret with the biggest sensor and best possible night vision capabilities is a top priority.

Have you done any more research into these Honeywell 30 series being rebranded Dahua's?

I would like to stick with USA made 4k turret cameras with colored night vision - does anyone have suggestions? After just dipping my toes in this world and reading about the Chinese government being owners in both Duhua & Hikvision with backdoors, I'd really like to avoid these two brands & at...
