Any 4k 60fps IP Cameras out there?

[brightnight]

Looking for a 4k 60fps IP camera ideally or 4k at 30fps if that doesn't exist (any brand). Is there anything out there like that? I spent some time looking online, on these forums, reading the cliff notes, etc, and still haven't seen anything.

I don't know of a 4k 60fps cam yet. At least not one that is affordable enough for me to pay attention to.

There are plenty of 4k 30 fps cams. Example: Amazon.com : EmpireTech IP Camera IPC-HFW1831E 8MP WDR IR Mini Bullet 2.8MM Lens Network Camera IP67, PoE English Version : Camera & Photo

No 40k cams at all.

Oops I meant 4K at 30fps, edited my original post to fix that. Do you have a favorite 4k 30fps camera ideally with an audio input?

What are you planning to doing with the camera. Most 4K cameras in the affordable range will not work very well at with low light

I linked my recommendation above. It does not support audio, and I am unaware of one with comparable image quality (and price) that does support audio.

Thanks you! I'm looking for a camera I can use to film during the day and night but that will also produce production level video. I could probably do $1000 a camera give or take a few hundred it it came down to it.

You'd be better off not using an IP camera for that. Bit rates from IP cameras are actually quite poor compared to the likes of a Gopro. Especially at 4K.

Agreed and good point but in terms of ability to film around the clock, pre-record, and triggering on events...IP cameras have some significant advnatages. I want a gopro camera with the functionality of an IP camera and the ability to film IR at night and color during the day. If only I could find one that has the right features

If you're not sure try the Varifocal 4K with 1/1.8" sensor

Well @brightnight there is

https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/17961

It is a box camera, which means:
* you supply the lens
* it is not weatherproof and must be put in a weatherproof enclosure if used in conditions where it could otherwise get wet

It does claim to support IR (Day/Night(ICR)), but I'm sure this impacts the lens requirements to some extent, and I couldn't help you choose a lens because I don't have any relevant experience with box cams. You would need a lens with good IR-correction (because the focus point for IR and for other visible light is different) or a powered varifocal lens that could automatically be refocused under different lighting conditions.

This cam does claim to have a built-in mic AND an audio input so you could use an external powered mic instead. It still isn't capable of exceptionally high bit rates, but the large sensor should otherwise be capable of quite good image quality, especially when paired with a high quality lens.

While the cam itself can be had for under $1000, you would probably exceed $1000 by the time you had a decent enclosure and lens for it.
