Thanks to Andy, I received another one of the same model extremely quickly. I was away for a couple of weeks but have installed it today. Here it is: The focal lengths are so precise compared to the 2MP cameras - I think I'll need to raise it up a bit so more of the picture has focus, or...

Thanks Andy. Took me a bit longer than I was expecting, but here's the little montage I put together which demos the camera's capability pretty well I think:

Funny you should say that as normally with the cameras that only have a use in the day, I set them to color mode and they don't switch anyway as I've found with the 5231s that the cameras can glitch more in night mode, causing them to desynchronise from the others when bringing them into OBS for...

Well I can't deny the mic is clear enough, but compared to (if you check my YT channel) the ground feeder or bird feeder (the latter of which has the noise filter on) it's really flat. They're both old 5231 eyeballs. Curiously some of the exact same model have flatter mics too, I think the ones...

I installed the HDBW7842E1-Z-X at my little bird bath because the audio isn't as important there. Here is a 4K/60fps live YouTube stream of it: The first visitors arrived when I was writing this, two little goldfinches drinking. Took a snapshot. At night, I don't run the IR because there's...

I'll be able to show you some samples once it's installed.

Yes. It calls it 'Filter Non-human Voices' in this interface as attached. Those options also disappear when selecting the 'Line In' input with this cam. But even if I make sure it's off when the built in Mic is selected, the sound is poor, and switching to Line In makes it no better.

Might as well follow up to express disappointment about the audio quality of the HDBW7842E1-Z-X. I placed it in the same location as one of the old HDW5231R-ZE cameras and whilst sound from the mic on the old one is bright and full, this new one is incredbly flat. I even tried piping high...

Oh gosh, I managed it using the API! At least, it'll work with the 4K at 59fps and the 1080p at 60! For anyone who wants the hack, I made sure everything above which could use the CPU was turned off, set the main stream to 60fps, then ran this...

Just to follow up from my previous post - there is a tantalising section of the release notes for the only firmware available for the camera, which is the same version it has shipped with. I have attached it. It seems to imply I should be able to have a higher frame rate available on both the...

I received a HDBW7842E1-Z-X today sent from Ancotech in Hong Kong (to the UK). I'm perhaps not the usual customer as my interest is in streaming the wildlife in the garden here. I have got 20 cameras (all Dahua!) set up now, and was hoping this would be the perfect upgrade for the bird feeder...

Thanks, that's worth a go!

Unfortunately there's more than one scratch, rather several large scrapes from catching some stones when dropped, so there's no sweet spot I can rotate it to. It's mounted outside so can't really remove it entirely. Seems a shame when it's probably such a cheap thing to make but fair enough if...

Hello, I made a mistake when moving this camera and managed to scrape the plastic dome in several places which is affecting the picture. It seems like such a waste if the only resolution is to replace the camera completely - are there are compatible replacement domes out there I can swap out...
