Anyone played with a Dahua Radar connected to their PTZ ?

So this has my interest heightened.

Seems like I should be able to run one or more of the PFR4K-E50 or PFR4K-E120 and a capable PTZs and I should be able to have a pretty nice setup.

I know one of the knocks aginst PTZs is that you probably aren't there to control it, or that it focuses on the wrong thing when set to auto track. I was wondering if the addition of radar would make PTZs more effective.

Andy, do you have any experience with these yet ?

 

[bigredfish]

No, but willing to test one for the Team !

I think those are pretty new, and likely pricey Oh Andy?... @EMPIRETECANDY

@bigredfish

do you have a PTZ with the fast focus ? I don't know what andys price will be but i'm seeing the radar units listed between 500 and 800 USD. but they are so new IDK what to expect.

Does anyone know if they are legal to operate and where?

Operating Frequency	24.05–24.25 GHz
Transmission Power	<20dBm (100mW)

you should verify in your specif locale if you are going to run em, but in most places you should be below the legal limits based on my googling.

there are other consumer devices that operate in this same frequency with similar power output that don't require a license to operate in the united states AFAIK.

example: Garmin VARIA (bicycle mounted radar)

I thought these were for setting up speed traps,

unsure if dahua is going to have that functionality in their units, but the tech could easily do that as well.

They are part 15 FCC certified, so absolutely.
Looks cool, but not useful for "speed trap"

i'll defer to your knowledge since i'm betting you know more about it.
thanks for clearing that up.

[mark_whocares]

anyone get one of these yet with a PTZ ?

@EMPIRETECANDY have you had a PFR4K-50 with a PTZ yet ?

 

[EMPIRETECANDY]

PFR4K-50 , what is for this one?

 

[weigle2]

This does look interesting. As @EMPIRETECANDY listed above, they make models from 50M to 450M in capability. Pricing on even the 50M (PFR4K-E50) would be nice.

Looks like upwards of $3000.00 U.S....(if you have to ask you can't afford it...).
