Andy did far more work on his first day back from the Holiday break than I intend to accomplish today, remember there is a language barrier and geographically he is practically on the other side of the world.
Think we blew out his stocks as his store shows 0 pieces available, and his parent store is showing only 1.. If I translated his Chenglish correctly then the next big shipment in stock is not due from Dahua until right before the Chinese new year, and not with enough time to process back orders before then so were back in the same boat as November, waiting for the OEM to get another large quantity onto the markets.
These might be hard to get your hands on until February I suspect, just be glad you got your orders in early.. Hopefully after the Chinese new years shutdown the limited availability of this camera will start to relieve, I kinda expect/hope these issues to be behind us come spring.. The Mini Black Face PTZ was hard to get like these when it was announced in summer of 2015, was not until spring of 2016 that they became widely available.
Meanwhile I ordered a IPC-HFW8232E-Z, 1/1.9" Starlight Varifocal Bullet from
@EMPIRETECANDY and will soon do a head to head shootout with the Varifocal Turret with the big sensor starlights.. 0.002Lux@F1.53, and 0.0001Lux in B&W... This is not a budget friendly camera, but it'll be interesting to see how these two stack up against eachother.. UltraSmart 1/1.9" vs EcoSavy 3.0 1/2.8"
