@billv that looks like some serious highlight compensation going on. What is your HLC setting on?
Not using HLC. Using WDR @ 55

Got my 2 camera from Andy a week ago but only got time to replace a 4MP bullet Hikvision with one of this. Pleased so far. I haven't got to tweak any setting yet. I wonder if @nayr has any recommendation on them?
They will be used as outdoor camera covering the front door and garage entrance.

you can sync your BI Server upstream to a Stratum 1 server, then sync your cameras to your BI server.. I guarantee your latency to between your cameras and your BI server is a tiny fraction of the latency between your cameras and nist.gov
There's no PTZ with this camera. It's like a ball and socket joint. You can fully rotate it and angle it any way you want, then you tighten the set screw.Does this camera pan and tilt with a controlled motor? Or does it just have a motorized zoomed lens?
The quality looks great! I want a camera I can control through my I-phone that can pan & tilt as well. Thanks!
Mine already paid for itself - I've been lazy in the bad weather so haven't replaced another cam in the garden so it's been sat benchtesting running looking out the window. 2 nights ago BI picked up two guys marking properties (for reasons as of yet unknown).
I'd meant to set BI to make a timelapse and instead had it running with full motion detection which is where I spotted the two randoms.
Police etc were called and even they commented how clear the footage was at night (I had IR disabled so was just letting the sensor strut it's stuff).
I've also installed a 128GB Toshiba Exceria microSD which is working fine - when you first pop the card in it will give an error under the local storage area, but just format the card, the camera will reboot and then it should be able to use all of the storage
Happy days
@istreich, i doubt zoom will work with blueIris.. it has no PTZ type commands avilable.. but it can zoom/focus with API commands so it might be done, but standard ONVIF PTZ commands wont do diddily squat.
@bp2008, its definitely wider than the 3.6mm 4300S I have back there but I dont think its a full 90 or else the swingset would of been completely in frame.. but its very close to it.. will double check, I may have zoomed it in a click or two to try to match the FOV of the 4300s.
It's not a ptz, it just has powered zoom and focus.I asked a seller about the PTZ and type of wall mount I would need, here's their response;
here is the official site, and it shows wall mount is pfb203w, and we have this bracket.

About PTZ, please use Smartpss, and the software shall can control the lens auto zoom , focus.
you can also manually rotate the camera.
It was a combo of the silica packet rubbing and the lens binding up against the black foam seal ring that sits between the lens and the outer glass of the front cover.
When I took it apart with the cover separated it zoomed almost silently.
I reassembled and it without the silica packet and made the squeaky sound but not the grindy sound. Just have to figure out how to properly position that foam ring and I'm back in business.
Thanks @nayr , YOU DA MAN!!
p.s. Curious has anyone ever had to return a cam to China for repair\replacement? How do they handle that and what is the shipping from the U.S. roughly?
Glad I did not have to mess with that. This is where not having a warranty would be an issue....I assume any problems and a resolution would be a combo of Andy's discretion and your wallet.
Why didn't you put the silica packet back in? It's there to absorb any moisture that may form up inside and you don't want droplets of water or condensate to short the boards, do you?
the pretrigger buffer is not in seconds NOT frames...Maybe someone can answer this… in the Starlight’s camera settings I set the Frame Rate & I Frame Interval to 15 fps. Since I’m using BI I went to Properties > Video and changed the Max rate to 20 fps. I then went to Record to change the Pre-trigger video buffer setting to 45 but it won’t stick... it keeps reverting back to 25.
I’m assuming it’s something simple I’m not doing?
