    Short testing of the 8MP TiOC IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-S4

    I bought this IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-S4 2.8mm from @EMPIRETECANDY in 2023 to replace my overview camera. The TiOC function works great.

    Hello from NSW Australia

    Well G'day, I have been reading these forums at various times over the last few years waiting for the time I could get myself some / a decent camera. About 7-8 years ago (maybe longer my memory could be slipping), when Foscam stuff first hit the market with sub $100 cameras I got a few. Since...
