Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

That's a good point. For now, I'm striking while the iron is hot. If I order with the 30-day delivery, by the time they get here, the install will get overcome by other events - and it'll sit in the box until it becomes obsolete. There's interest now, so faster is better.
 
I'm quite the opposite. I'm insulating my garage now, and than I need to drywall. I have just ran the cables for now, so I'm not in a hurry.
 
I have just placed the cameras on the wall and I don't know if I like the ZE with the black face. It makes it more obvious, than I would like too.
These cameras, are pretty big compared to other neighbors. I know they are much better, but maybe the black "face", is a bit to much.
 
I'm wondering, it would be a good idea to use a silicon sealer, where the gap it is on the camera?
 
Any advice on having two profiles set up for each camera (day profile and night profile). Day profile looks gret during the day but lacks the BLC to see details in the dark. If i leave the night profile, the BLC ruins the image during the day. I'm using an NVR and the idmss app for the cameras.

If you have a Windows PC that runs 24/7 somewhere in your house, one on the admins here wrote a program that runs in the background that can change your cameras between day/night profiles based on sunrise/sunset times for your area.

Same here. I have six R-Zs (white face) that blend in to the white soffit they're mounted on. I have one R-ZE, and its black face against the white soffit makes it very obvious -- doesn't blend in at all. In some environments, an obvious camera can be a plus. For me, it is not.

You mean the hole on the mounting ring? Lots of posts here where folks have done that.
 
Between the mounting ring and the camera itself(the ball). So, that big gap and around the ball, where the right arrow is.

As long as you never want to move the camera, for field of view purposes, it could be caulked one way or another. Around the cable entry, underneath the camera is probably a better idea if all you're trying to do is protect the RJ45.
 
I'm afraid, that spiders and other bugs, will find a nice comfy place for themselves in there. Plus, against water as well of course.

Geeze! I just received 6 cams from Andy a few weeks ago...fast delivery but they will sit for at least a month or so until the freezing weather lets up. I did not know there was a "slow ship" option that could have saved me $20+ bucks per camera. Dang!
 
There BEC shop, usually has them with slow shipping.
 
Could you post a link to that store ? Btw I’m trying to monitor my neighbors viscous dogs. I need some decent range for at least one camera. Is 150ft asking too much for 1 of these cams ?
 
I'm not familiar with that camera, sorry.
I have a 4MP Dahua camera and this one, is (much)better.
Don't just look at the megapixels. This camera's sensor is bigger/better sensor, then the ones in a cheaper 4Mp camera.
My 4MP Dahua camera, it was $74(!).

Hi Andy, I'm Ambra from Aliexpress. As I told you in the messages from Aliexpress , I have more confidence in UPS NL than in NL post. Please give me a good price for this IPC-HDW5231R-Z. If I understood well, for ipcamtalk members, you give discounts?
