In a previous thread, it sounded like Andy supplied cams to BEC, but who knows... BEC is cheaper and it seems like folks here have purchased successfully from them.

Looks like both sites only had a few cams for the moment...BEC order for 3 cams rejected me 1/2 way through.
So I did Empire @ 3 cameras....Took like 10 tries because CitiCards initially rejects as fraud any time I try to go through AE initially.
Hope Andy will honor the $10 difference credit back to me on each cam like he said in previous posts...Early Christmas present for me. :)

Looks like both sellers have zero stock at the moment. Hopefully yours ships soon!

I want one too... but as @fenderman advised in my hard lesson on the "low light destroyer", WAIT until the camera is proven and bugs are worked out. So I shall wait. Ive got high hopes. :)

This camera is made by dahua...you can be pretty certain it will be just fine as they have a proven reliability track record.

Hmm, I am impatient and my Hik 2632 is quite bad with the bright super IR center beam. Very challenging to focus too. Looks like this cam will easily out-do the Hik. Just got to wait for them to be available from Andy as it seems he has been reliable.

tomorrow will ship out 12pcs for those who are waited for 2 weeks guys, but i think we can ship all orders on the first week of Dec. We always use DHL, 2-3 working days to USA, so stock in is the key.

I have different tabs for Tripwire, Intrusion, Abandoned/Missing, Scene Changing. On the first three i can create 4 rules and one for Scene Changing. I don't have smart plan, what is it?

Hi nayr great work in promoting this camera. I was wondering what other system are you using with the cameras? NVR, Computer, software etc.. I am looking to replace all analog cams with these when they are back in stock and would like to upgrade all. I have house pre-wired with cat 6 cable for 6 cameras. Thanks for any input.

Hi everyone, Today is Thanksgiving and can someone tell me where to order one of these turret dahua 2mp cameras from?
Should I order from AE or has someone imported them and for how much? How can I order via mobile to get a better price? What APP
would I use to do that? Thanks...JR

Basically if the site lests you place the order in your cart it is in stock from what I could tell.
Also showed a count next to where you select how many you want; at least on the mobile app.
