you can shut off the IR so it'd run inside an enclosure, good luck.. share what you find

I purchased a Dahua 4X Speed Dome because of this thread. I appreciate Nayr for his review, which made the decision of buying this camera an easy one.

Purchased from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Dahua-MINI-PTZ-4x-optical-zoom-IR-Distance-up-to-30m-SD29204S-GN-with-LOGO/32659611002.html for $169.19 shipped via mobile app. Buyer has the option of DHL, Fedex, or UPS all of which are included in the purchase price. (Although that can change at any time.)


(included a pic side by side with a Huisun/Improx Mini PTZ for those curious about the size)

Order was placed on 05/06/16 shipped through DHL wrapped in the DHL cardboard envelope with brown tape.
Ship Date 05/10/16
Received 05/12/16 (6 days to receive from the order date is pretty awesome!)


It is currently indoors. I've tested it and I am very pleased with its performance and features. Image quality is very nice both day and night. I can post some samples once I get this thing mounted outside.

That's a good deal I tried to buy one but aliexpress said my account is disabled for security reasons, WTH I have never bought anything on that site yet

Thanks a lot! Does this camera have an "on-boot self-test for PTZ"? My installation is based on solar power, thus it will boot up every day and has to be still 24-7.

yes it does a calibration dance on boot, like all PTZ's.. its not so much a self-test as it is orienting its self.

depending on where you park it yeah, you can hear a whine.. I had to adjust my night time preset because it'd whine for a few mins after moving to it.. its to be expected, all my ptz's emit funny noises when you attach a microphone to the body.

I ordered this model as my first camera. :laugh: Can't wait to get it.
Me too - well my first IP camera anyway. After we had someone try to break in through a window, we grabbed an analog LaView system, and I am SO ready to be done with it.

Hey @nayr. I have a question belonging the nightvision. Do you have an example Video in complete Darkness?

Do you think the HIkvisions like DS-2CD2132f-i have better nightvision or the Dahua Cameras

It would be so good if you could share some details in a dedicated post? Like are you using external PIR? Which automation system are you using?

He has shared a ton of his home automation setup. Just search the forum here for it. Lots of reading on that one.
