Very keen to get a couple of these cameras having spent a few days investigating options - this seems like one of the best value for money cameras out there. Both ali express stores appear to be out of stock - do we know when they might be available again? Thanks!

Wait a minute, the stock on the AliExpress store wasn't actually available? How does that work? When I made my purchase several days back it showed approximately 20 available, and days later 0 available. So this was essentially pre-sale, without being advertised as such?Thanks for waiting guys~Just back to work, have thousands emails for the past 2 weeks holiday, will do my best to process them, for the orders can ship out later this week, dahua also starts working today. The stock still at their warehouse.

Getting the hang of it
@EMPIRETECANDY - How do we actually place an order using Pay Pal?
Do we go through here or PM you.

PM him. On this forum, it's called Start a Conversation. See his profile link, then Start a conversation. He will respond, and send you a paypal invoice per your details.
He's back, and working on orders from the conversations.

I took a look at both the turret version and the bullet version. Is it correct that the difference between the turret version and bullet version is the turret has 2 IR LEDs and built-in mic, and the bullet version has 4 IR LEDs and no built-in mic? Thanks.

Yes, + bullet has audio and alarm I/O and power consumption 11.5W (maybe because 4 IR LEDs) while turret has 8.5W.
I just purchased 1 bullet and 2 turrets. The bullet was the last one.

@olli even if you dont need the varifocal it comes with an optical aperture thats nearly 2x the size of the fixed lens Starlights.. this results in much better photon gathering capabilities and that results in much better low light capabilities.
here's a F2.0 Fixed (3.6mm) Starlight:
here's the F1.4 Varifocal Starlight:
Both cameras had the exact same exposure settings, the only difference was the size of the aperture between the Varifocal and a Fixed Focal
IMHO, its worth the extra ~$35 for just the low light gains even if you dont care about varifocals..

No, not it's intended useage. It is designed so you can setup the field of view you want during install, then leave it alone, unless you move the cam to a different location.
