Dahua 4K cameras $310 and $320 sold by Newegg

[bp2008]

Somehow, Newegg, not one of its resellers, but USA-based Newegg themselves, has Dahua's 4K (8 megapixel) @ 15 FPS cameras for sale at prices lower than you can find on Aliexpress. And I think they are not even chinese region, given the EN slapped on their product numbers.

Both are listed as having 4mm lenses.

Dome $310:

These are the best prices I've seen on a 4K IP camera yet. If this had been available a year ago I might have bought two. But now I've already upgraded my two most important cams to 4 megapixel for $90 each. I'm not sure I want to buy a $320 8 megapixel camera anymore. I'd rather wait for the price to drop to the $150 ballpark.

Don't you need a 4K nvr for these?

 

[bp2008]

To take full advantage, yes. But just about any PC-based NVR is resolution independent so I've been ready for 4k cameras since 2013 or earlier...

Looks quite good:

What 2 cameras did you get for the $90 mark? Pros and Cons?

It's not so excellent in nightime... I've seen Hikvision 4k and I'm without words for totally absence of noise!

Of course it will be at least double the price, but it can be seen why. Also, the hik sensor is 1/1.7'', whilst Dahua is 1/2.3''.
I will look better at daytime.

Looks like they jacked the bullet up to $395 now. It doesn't appear to be $320 anymore. The other camera is still discounted however. I wonder if it was a mistake for them to post it so low at $320 for the one week.

1/2.3" sensor eeek

I found an Alibaba guy that will do $500 for a pack of the 12mp version (and its quite nice except for the dome reflection issue at night)

 

[LittleScoobyMaster]

Is that price for this camera?

the lens itself will cost 300$

Yeah. I notice the website has a $7.00 lens. Do you happen to know some of the negative ways that cheap lens would impact this camera? Just curious how bad the lens is.
