Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

I REALLY need a nice PTZ.....I just can't explain to my wife exactly why. =:-0

just tell her you need it so you can have enough warning that she's coming home that your girlfriend has a chance to sneak out the back.. :P

BTW, my SD59225U-HNI should be here this coming Wednesday if I'm lucky, I just had to have auto-tracking to play with and if I ever mount it to a pole electronic image stabilization will be nice, also I got a little bit of a discount because Andy is the man. :)

what kinda distances can you see? you can use the measure tool on google maps.. 100mm is going to be more than enough for me, 60mm is about all I have use for.

Given that the only difference between that and the one I got is 5x more zoom I don't feel it's worth 650, but I'm not counting your money. :)
 
zoom means didditly squat, its 100mm vs 135mm and thats quite noticeable if your trying to see distance.. but were talking like 500ft or more.. iirc 100mm is good to 300ft for ID on 1080p, 135mm is good to about 400ft

the 30x has a wider FOV zoomed out

im on a T street the axis is almost at the T which can also see the front door if needed

two streets is about 600 feet
the other is 1200 feet depending of tree's the trees have gotten a lot bigger when we first moved in i was able to use the axis and see that far now its a lot harder

true, I guess you have to decide if that is worth another $150 or so bucks..
 
I dont have any lines of sight that far, 300ft away is quite gracious and only this time of year when most trees and landscaping are sparse; come summer my 12x 60mm PTZ cant really see that far.. and if I put one up front all the roads curve away within that distance, nothing is a straight line in my neighborhood.. Ive been pretty happy with 12mm mini PTZ but a lil more zoom is always nice since i man my PTZ's alot.

Right on, I was just on google maps checking out how far 300ft actually is in relation to the neighborhood and I'd be able to identify people all the way to the end of my street on both ends, and the one end ends at a T where I'll be able to see probably another block if someone turns left away from me, so yeah, all of my lines of sight will be covered, and I'd say 100mm should be good in a lot of neighborhoods, well far enough away to be out of home security need and into people watching/spying mode lol.
 
I guess I forgot it has 120mm, so its even better than 100mm heh

25x: 4.8mm~120mm
30x: 4.5mm~135mm
