I'm assuming Andy has stock stored inside the US to be able to ship so quickly, nothing comes straight from China in less than a month lol.Yeah free DHL Shipping instead of shitty ass ePacket..
AliExpress - Starlight Varifocal Turret from @EMPIRETECANDY - $170 DHL Shipped
We know this store has them in stock and will ship them out quickly..
Took 3 days for DHL to get it in my hands.. DHL/FedEx can get it damn fast and travels via air.. ePacket is going to take 2-3 weeks in transit at minimum via boats.I'm assuming Andy has stock stored inside the US to be able to ship so quickly, nothing comes straight from China in less than a month lol.
Except possibly at the local level, which I imagine is quite variable. About a month ago we had snow that made the roads pretty tough for a couple of days, after which the roads were cleared pretty well. The local DHL delivery arm sat on my camera for 2 weeks, saying it was undeliverable due to weather. About half of those days the sun was out and with minor exceptions the pavement was dry and bare. 3 days from China, 2 weeks for the last hundred miles.DHL arguably handles international shipping better than anyone else
I live in Florida so there should be no problems I hope, he said mine would go out monday and I'd get it this coming week. Cannot wait because if i Iike it I will probably immediately order like 3 more lol. I want to get the outside of the property covered with overview and choke point cameras everywhere, then I may start looking for a good camera to do license plate shots on my street. I also want to get a nice starlight PTZ, with one on every side of the house eventually. Yeah, I'm a little nuts.Except possibly at the local level, which I imagine is quite variable.

since my camera test rig fell over from my 110lb Pyrenees Ive been unable to achieve focus at full zoom with this camera; I think I need to open it up and manually focus it to get it back within software range.. I knocked something out of wack and at wide angle the focus is too high, im sure fiddling can get it back into range but ive not bothered yet as I plan on ordering a couple more of these cameras.@nayr could you please do a test for me at night ? I would like to check if shutter speed is still good at 12mm, can you go in your garden, wave, then wave at same speed at 12mm to see if movement become washed/shadowed ? I ask that because I saw no information about aperture at 12mm.
Who the hell is "Andy"?I'm assuming Andy has stock stored inside the US to be able to ship so quickly, nothing comes straight from China in less than a month lol.
The seller who everyone has been buying cameras from... empiretecandy..Who the hell is "Andy"?
@EMPIRETECANDY aka, Andy @ Empire Tec. the AliExpress store that was the first to obtain any significant stocks of this camera and has been fairly active on these boards.Who the hell is "Andy"?
Also since buying from aliexpress can be kind of iffy, it's awesome to find reputable dealers who people have dealt with, you can buy with a lot more confidence.@EMPIRETECANDY aka, Andy @ Empire Tec. the AliExpress store that was the first to obtain any significant stocks of this camera and has been fairly active on these boards.
Just get a Rust-Oleum clear gloss anti-UV spray can from Lowe's or Walmart and put it on there just like what others do to protect their newly polished headlights from turning yellow again.All plastics degrade from UV, just some do faster than others.. clear plastics are espically susceptible.
hmmm, I did not know that works on headlights, I think I will do that lolJust get a Rust-Oleum clear gloss anti-UV spray can from Lowe's or Walmart and put it on there just like what others do to protect their newly polished headlights from turning yellow again.
Aka King Security Tech too.@EMPIRETECANDY aka, Andy @ Empire Tec. the AliExpress store that was the first to obtain any significant stocks of this camera and has been fairly active on these boards.
they still turn yellow again, Ive refurbished a few headlamps in my day.. its radiation from the sun vs a can of spray, guess whats going to win? if that can of spray worked the'd of used in the plastics when they made it in the first place.. oh wait they didJust get a Rust-Oleum clear gloss anti-UV spray can from Lowe's or Walmart and put it on there just like what others do to protect their newly polished headlights from turning yellow again.
yeah, I always thought it was from moisture getting inside or something, meh, if my car lasts long enough I'll just get new headlights, or find a way to clean them up. There is a reason why I don't own a fancy or expensive car. I need more money for my hobbies, like security cameras.they still turn yellow again, Ive refurbished a few headlamps in my day.. its the sun vs a can of spray, guess whats going to win? if that can of spray worked the'd of used in the plastics when they made it in the first place.. oh wait they did
