Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

added the sdzw2030s-n, this is a 135mm starlight varifocal bullet.. the price wont be cheap but if your looking for a LPR camera for distance this would be a great candidate.

says it has 50W consumption w/IR on, so must have massive IR.. or thats incorrect, hard to say but spec sheet dont indicate its PoE capable so that might just be true.

according to specs its ~16in long, gotta be a beast.. dont expect to fit it in a lil birdhouse heh.

Wow 50 watts is a lot.. Is that not a heating element for the housing or whatver ?
I read the install pdf and it seems the square plate with the round hole for the lens is the IR unit indeed.

Can't seem to find the sdzw2030s-n for sale on AliExpress. Wonder how much it is?

looks like it, damn thats a good price!

its a new chasis/housing design, a lil bit smaller and a lil bit slower..

Black Face Light:
Pan: 240° /s; Tilt: 200° /s
Φ160(mm) x 295(mm)
4kg(8.82lb)

Black Face PTZ:
Pan: 400° /s; Tilt: 300° /s
Φ186.0(mm) x 309(mm)
3.5kg(7.72lb)

other than that it's not much different than a black face PTZ that I can see.

No Microsd slot.that's probably how they were able to put it at $350.

The specs say its got a metal housing but the Mount and all of the camera look plastic to me in the images.. I suspect its plastic and that may account for its low price.
 
The mount that is in the link looks the same as the mount i have for my hikvision 5220 ptz.
That mount is not plastic but it is aluminium metal. And there is room for the connections intern :)

I don't like being spoon fed, But this is my first experience with Security cameras.
I've only had about 1 hour to play around with this camera after install.

I've been out of town since install

What are some of the basic settings I should be using ?

"Dahua Network Camera Web 3.0" is a little overwhelming for a Newbie of couse it's generic & I know PTZ and other parts don't apply.

I'm using Blue Iris also, BUT... My Thoughts are (and correct me if I'm wrong) I need to get the basics done first in the Dahua Software & then proceed to Blue Iris .

I've got it working in the short time Ive had to play but I know It's far from being refined. I'm slowly adding Cameras.
 
Should work pretty well out of the box once you get it setup on your network w/a fixed IP address..

Setting up Presets, Idle Preset, Startup Behavior perhaps..
 
looks like the US site got another Starlight Varifocal Bullet in the Super Category: DH-IPC-HFW82A1EN-Z(I)

this has 140dB SuperWDR, and .001 Lux better spec that may account for additional IR range.

Looking at the specs, it says IVS(Optional). Is this a different camera model, or firmware? Apologies, but I'm just starting into a surveillance system, and specs can be really confusing.
 
you should verify with your vendor that it includes IVS because its possible it may not.
 
I believe so, not really noticing any impacts on low light capabilities regardless of the level of zoom.
