Pulling my weight
PM with Andy and he says "oh, you are in USA so have to get a NTSC one."
I read on here that for IP Cam PAL vs NTSC is not relevant.
Correct me the newb please.
Thx

i wonder why on the pics the IR-LED are black. On the official Dahua-site, the IR-LED look different?
Yeah, all my hikvision are pal, it makes 0 difference for an IP Cam.I requested NTSCs...never got any confirmation whatsoever...never bothered to ask Andy because I knew he was very busy...resigned to the fact that I'd be getting PAL...no big deal...lo & behold...I got NTSC cams!
Thanks, Andy...you're service is first-rate!!!

You mean 50 and 60hz?I believe @EMPIRETECANDY can provide firmware that will turn a NTSC into a PAL and a PAL into a NTSC.. so if your not satisfied just ask him for the files.
however there is always some risk w/firmware updates; and it really makes very little difference.. PAL limits to 50FPS, NTSC to 60FPS however PAL has slightly better sub-stream (D1/C1) resolutions.. thats the only variations, and they are fully capable of mixing and matching.. my system is half pal and half ntsc and its never concerned me for a moment.

Since this is a new camera, I'm guessing Dahua will tweak the firmware over time. How does the process of getting updated firmware for cameras ordered from Andy work (if it's even possible)?
Yes, Aliexpress. Ordered 12/26 and it is set to be delivered tomorrow. Incredibly fast. 2 - 3 days from Hong Kong.Did you order via Aliexpress.com? I did on 12/25. My order is about to be canceled due to no activity.
So I took a few shots, not exhaustive by any means but it's getting late and I have tons of time to fart around with it, first impressions? I freaking love it, it blows my hikvision away, and I can NEVAR go back to manual focus again. Unless dahua or someone else comes out with something else around the same price point that is a lot better than this, I will probably be buying like 3 more of these when the next batch comes in, I already told Andy to reserve me 3. Here are some shots out back, quick and dirty, I don't have test rigs or anything yes so I used a lawn chair, sue me lol. File names are self explanatory.
Notes:
I've got a pretty good sized flood light that lights up the back yard, when the light is out, it's pretty much pitch dark back there except for moonlight. Cameras were on a chair close to the ground so light dispersion probably would have been better if they were higher up.
Chrome killed NPAPI plugins, gotta use the NACL Web Plugin w/Chrome.. Safari and IE are the only browsers left that work with the NPAPI plugin.
Is that a Doberman?
Ordered on Dec.24th, and my cameras arrived today. Fantastic service from @EMPIRETECANDY !!! Everything looks good out of the box. Testing on the ground overnight, and then I'll be replacing at least one existing cam tomorrow.
