Dahua just listed a new 4MP bullet with 7-35 varifocal lens, IPC-HFW5431E-Z5. Though with the existing IPC-HFW5431E-Z being listed at ~$300 on Ali, it's quite a bit more expensive than the IPC-HFW4431K-I6...

fuck yeah, given the issues I had with plates needing refocused at night I have a feeling having a varifocal will be much better for LPR use.. I fear the HFW4431K-i6 @ 25mm will need to be taken apart and refocused for LPR use.

Sorry about your Len. But I recalled that your first LPR is hidden in a birdhouse right? Couldn't you just lose the glass and put this one in a birdhouse and plexiglass inside the entrance of the birdhouse to protect it from outdoor element?

my other one is using every bit of it its 60mm lens, this 25mm rig wont do anything for that
That's a good point. Makes the IPC-HFW5431E-Z5 very appealing. Guess I'll just have to pick one up whenever Andy can get a hold of it.

Come April shit's gonna get busy around here, I have an out of state vehicle to pickup, a weekend w/parents, my birthday weekend and a buttload of backed yardwork to get done so the yard aint shit this year; hell its right now its busy.. I have a wife who's in a hormonal state called nesting (new appliances, new furniture, new paint, everything has to be fucking new for some reason).. Luckily March Madness is gonna kick off this weekend after Selection Sunday so its time for some man shit like drinking beer and watching basketball.
this is what I had to pickup today:
Luckily I got most of this camera review down to an art now, test rig is in place and test cameras are on shelf, just an hour or so of playing with it in the day and then again in the dark.. its the video production that takes the most time/creativity.. Really only need to compare it to the varifocal starlight as thats what I set the bar against and it has good comparisons and independent comparisons too... though these 35mm might make me have to move the rig to someplace with more distance
