I've got two turrents mounted right out in the open, been through plenty of rain storms, have not noticed any issues with clarity on the lenses, I think water just runs right off.

It would work better with IR if you rotated it 180 degrees and mounted it 3-4" lower. Less IR reflection.
Don't just test a still image, go walk around and see how blurry your face is without ir.
2.8mm is to wide if you want useful detail

is this the expected quality? I have it set to email me when Alarm Event: Intrusion
What is strange is that I can completely disable the camera in BI, go to the web interface of the camera and I cannot zoom back in until sometime the next morning, that is why i am thinking it has to be coming from the camera. The second of these cameras, I can zoom in and out from the cameras interface and BI whenever I want. I think I am either going to have to try resetting the camera back to factory or swap the two cameras since I only use the zoom on one of them.

Just a thought - you don't have that camera scheduled to automatically reboot either in the cam or in BI do you?
The auto reboot is disabled on both cameras. the only place i see in BI that would trigger a camera reboot is in the watchdog tab and those options are not enabled either. thanks!
Good point on the IR. I'll do that, even though I am going to switch this camera out.
Random question... is this a good practice? By default, I believe the cameras are set to auto-reboot. Should I disable that?
Updated all the tracking for the HDW5231R-Z for the orders in March and April. Still has little left, we will process on Sunday/Monday.
Put 20pcs on the shop Empire.
Then the left ones for paypal users and the orders still not shipped.
The next stock will be around May.20th.

That would have been 15fps - settings are as follows:
It's habit of dropping the framerate to 15fps and keeping the bitrate higher (was 4Mbps default? It's been a while!)

Did you try walking around to see if that has better results than the test function?
I had my wife walking around in the yard as I watched the meter on my laptop. I did notice that having motion lights and such kick on creates a significant detection spike. I guess if anything that will help trigger the alarm recording.
what focal length is this?is this the expected quality? I have it set to email me when Alarm Event: Intrusion
How do you know if your cameras ship? I ordered last week after receiving assurance there were plenty to fulfill the waitlist and get my cameras out. However, I've still not yet received a tracking number. I get the "be patient" sentiment and all, but I've already laid out nearly $1,000 and wouldn't have given someone a short-term loan had I know they weren't going to ship for a month.
I would contact the seller via email and ask. There's not too much point in posting about it publicly, unless there is some thread where the seller (Andy?) updates tracking numbers instead of email.
I've laid out about the same amount for my first small batch of cameras to test and I don't have a tracking number yet either, but remember.... Monday was a holiday for many countries and I know Andy has been busy working late nights in his timezone replying to people and getting orders ready catching up. It also doesn't help that this camera is extremely popular and with the prices, they are hard to keep in stock.
Hopefully for both of us these are worth the wait.. From the images and reviews I think we will be happy.
I wrote the seller 36 hours ago and hadn't heard back so was hoping someone here had been through the process and knew if a tracking number was provided or not. Agree my post was of limited utility, but worth a shot for some peace of mind.

Getting the hang of it
Yes I have been through the process with @EMPIRETECANDY . I paid via PayPal and received a DHL tracking number from PayPal. There was quite a bit of time between payment and shipment because he was waiting on the junction box mounts so they could all be in one shipment.
