Do you think this was just a mixup on the part of the seller? Or is the non-POE version the only one they're selling? I want to pick up the POE version too, sometime. That sale seems like it would be a good time, but not sure if that seller would be good if they're messing up orders all the time.

I believe it was a true mixup. They have sold to many POE versions and have to good of feedback for this to be a reoccuring mistake.
Been testing mine for a few days...I'd say it "feels" like it runs pretty hot. I checked with one of those temp guns and it was 117 deg F (indoors approx. 67 deg ambient surrounding temp with no IR on).
Is that normal? Anyone else measured their camera temps?
Also has sort of a faint burning wire smell...maybe all new cams have that? Not sure as this is my first "real" camera.
Thoughts or experiences?

cameras run pretty hot, thats typical.. and you might be smelling the belt/motors as they get broken in; dont worry too much if its performing fine.. bench test it nice and well until your confident its fine.
I bought from here Took a few weeks but no issues.
It appears to be on the 11:11 sale for $152.88

Only tested in the basement on a bench so far. Have not played w settings. Decent indoor image daylight/night so far with default settings.
This is my first cam so a lot of other people here would be better suited to give you an opinion on this camera.

I'm double checking where I'm placing these cameras. Rain shouldn't be much of a problem but what is the weakspot on this model? Maybe I could add a bit of extra protection from the elements. Weather here in NYC isn't too bad. I rarely ever see fog or serious rain.
The top/mounting surface. For mine mounted outside, I fill all of the gaps with silicone just in case.
SD29204T-GN has poe, night vision and not not waterproof.
-W no poe, has nightvision and not waterproof too. If you can protect it far away from the rain, then no problem, or else can't work, camera will die soon.

So I was able to make the IR work temporarily, I'm not sure how though. I thought it was the length/quality of twisted pair but nope. Now I'm able to get the IR to turn on, but they won't brighten anything past the 3% setting. I'm looking for other user's suggestions or feedback of what may be wrong, what to look for, or what I'm screwing up. Up until now all of my cameras with IR are simply on/off based on a photocell.
So the T has a crappy sensor or no? Vendors telling me the T replaces the S and the S no longer available.
I dunno; nobody's posted up any sample video from the T and im not going to buy it just to review it again..
They do have different sensors and I do believe the S is better than the T when it comes to image quality; but how much difference is it really? shrug.
Anyone with the T model; it'd be nice if you could upload some video to Youtube for us.

how did you fix that black face on to that plastic eave, I am in the same situation the plastic looks so fragile that drilling holes is simply not an option.
I am waiting for the wall mount brackets instead.

Aah Yes, I had all wood removed.
I have to say though, the clarity of image in this cam esp day is much better than the Turret 4meg.
Which turret? I've been trying to figure out exactly what makes seemingly higher resolution images lower quality.
More Megapixels Does Not Mean More Quality
in short it comes down to photon capturing ability; the more megapixels you try to cram into the same size sensor the worse its light gathering capabilities.. there are three choices to compensate: increase sensor size, decrease megapixels, increase sensor cost
You should see how shitty the 8MP Cameras do at night; ugh..
