    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    No we don't have 24/7 armed security. I do work from home though and have a couple of Glocks.

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Yeah even though it's smaller in this instance it's the motion that's the issue. We decided to not allow models that have visible motion (pan and tilt) to be mounted to the outside. Part of that was about harmony between neighbors. Since these are townhouses we would be dealing with reports of...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Well I think the kind of folks that don't haunt ipcamtalk would say that $300-$400 per cam is already too much of a bloody fortune. They just don't understand! But yeah $900-$1200+ per cam is way too rich for my blood. Especially since I'll need multiple. Unfortunately I couldn't use big PTZ...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    I completely agree with you. Somebody hit and ran a cluster mailbox at night and my cam caught it. It was good enough video to identify everything that happened and somebody got the plate number but the police couldn't charge the vehicle owner because we couldn't prove who was driving. If my...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    That of course brings up the grass is greener question of has anybody tried the 8331E-Z? I know people have said that going up in megapixel seems to have negative effects on the night vision. I was wondering if there were any more gains to be had at 3mp. The camera is touting 140db WDR. I always...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Sorry Nayr I may have misunderstood this other post. I saw the "3MP@60fps" and that brought up the question. Normally I would never believe someone that said a 2MP cam can now be set to 3MP but I also saw that Sony made the IMX178 in 1/1.9 and then wasn't sure. I see this firmware may be for...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Excellent review and great information by Nayr. This camera looks like the total package. Almost? I am seriously liking this camera. I had 3 questions: 1. I saw a comment about 3MP being enabled with a firmware update. Does this camera have a greater than 2MP sensor or is it like 2.4 or...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Technically it could be an IMX178LQJ in 1/1.9 which is Starvis. That would be great. I agree with you though that it looks like it might be the IMX185LQJ in 1/1.9 which is Exmor. The only thing that makes me think it's maybe a IMX178LQJ is that I think I saw that later in the thread somebody...
