What do you guys think how would a panorama camera work towards the sky?;) @BobW55 how does it look during day?

I would like to know experiences too. At least we have asthetic reasons. I couldn't find any reviews or demo videos in Youtube. For us: Price doesn't matter, IR is not in use, but low light performance should be decent. Do you think this lacks the usual performance of the starlight cameras...

Sorry about bumping this old thread, but does anyone know how a panorama camera, (e.g. from Dahua), would work during day? We'd like to capture air traffic (birds) in a remote area :)

Hi! :) What would you like to know? You can't go wrong, if you take a >IP67 rated camera with a varifocal lens. It would be easier to advice, if you answer the following questions: How much is your budget? Does this system run on solar power or from the grid? Do you want to have sound? How...

No they don't and actually Amazon.com doesn't ship it either, argh. I paid it as I needed several mics fast (10d to Scandinavia) :) If Andy could sell them, it would be great. PFM141 might be good, but it isn't waterproof.

Thanks :) Unfortunately these ospreys are leaving their nest soon and migrate to Africa. Only a week or two until this season is over. There is actually nothing special to tell about the connection. Basically, the stream is transferred through a mobile connection routed/firewalled by RPi to...

Offtopic: Hey, I'm actually the person responsible of the streaming project mentioned above. :) Feel free to ask, if there is anything you want to know technically. PM or thread?

I guess the solar charge controller makes it.

Thanks for your input @Solar Deity ! I think my second remote installation doesn't have power to the mic. That must be the reason it's so silent and I need to add volume up to 70 and max out with computer. But I still hear ground loop sounds, is this possible with unpowered mic? It's so weird...

@nayr or others.. what audio / codec settings are you using with Dahua IP cams? I have two of these installed together with new starlight domes. One of them is very loud even when volume is set to 1 and other one gives a lot of SHHHH sound and is otherwise pretty silent.. First one is almost...

I have studied new lineup, if you mean this pdf: http://www.dahuasecurity.com/download/2017_Q1_IP_VIDEO_PRODUCT_SELECTION_2.15_LOW.pdf SD22204T-GN is the closest one, but I guess for strategic reasons it lacks audio interface. For my installation, size does matter and 12x are out of scope.

@nayr any chance we would see a dome IP66 PTZ varifocal (4x) with external audio soon? Or is there already an option for outdoor usage?

Or e.g. HDBW version of the new turret.

I guess I need to try it then.

Thanks for the input! I will power up the cameras directly from AGM Battery via POE injector as this system runs on Solar power. @TVT73 : Actually I just came across with the PFM141, but haven't seen them on Aliexpress before. Where did you buy that and what is the price (approximately)? I...

Did you guys get this fixed? I have same issues with these mics. HUM HUM.

@nayr I guess you know the answer to my question above :-) Thanks beforehands. OT: I bought a mini black face based on your recommendation and it has worked flawlessly outdoor 24-7 even during winter (lowest temp was -25 c).

Is the external audio the only difference betweenIPC-HDBW5231R-Z and IPC-HDW5231R-Z? Of course they look different but what else... I think I'll order the one with the external audio plug or is that built-in mic good in HDW?

Well, we are installing cameras to bird nests, so everything happens in trees. Most of the installations are at least 15 meters from the ground and ~2 meters away from the trunk (in a camera box), thus angle/image is very hard to adjust manually. We wouldn't like to disturb nesting birds with...

Thanks a lot! Does this camera have an "on-boot self-test for PTZ"? My installation is based on solar power, thus it will boot up every day and has to be still 24-7.

What do you think, would it be okay to use this camera outside under the roof? Seller didn't recommend using this outdoor, but the other (4x PTZ) Dahua camera lacks audio in, which is needed..

How close can it focus e.g. if angle is 50 degrees? I need a bird camera and it needs focusing to 1.5m with 50 degrees ;)
