If the night time quality of the picture is the same, then I can see you doing that and I would be interested in buying one, if that is indeed the case. However, the 12MP version will put even more stress on my system. Hahahaha
Can lower it to 8MP. 12mp use 1/1.7cmos. 8MP use 1/1.8cmos.
OK, put me down for one of these. I will be the Guinea Pig. IPC-HFW71242H-Z-X (dahuasecurity.com)
So, is the quality of the video the same as it would be on the 8MP version of this camera if the streaming was dropped from 12MP to 8MP? I checked the prices for a 12MP monitor and the price is quite high.
I have not tested it, but the miniPTZ says it can.
This one does face detection and face recognition. Plus it has very good night vision. Here is the link.
What else does it do for $3,000
Looks like Looney is going to be reviewing this camera. So, we will find out what all it does.What else does it do for $3,000
I was thinking sub-$1000 USD! lol
It better butter my bread for that price. I'm sure it has it's place but that's a true industrial/commerial/military grade camera.Looks like Looney is going to be reviewing this camera. So, we will find out what all it does.
I'm going to grab one of these in a couple months. SD6CE245GB-HNR It's a newer model with SMD 4.0 and Auto-tracking 3.0.
That is not the cam Looney is going to review. He is reviewing the SD8C848PA1-HNF, which is the Spring Sale Lottery Super Prize. I had won it but really do not have a place for it and I did not think it right to sell it. So Andy is going to have Looney review it.Looks like Looney is going to be reviewing this camera.

I reread my first message and I wasn't clear. I'd like a PTZ that can do face detection and autotracking at the same time.
And the local criminals might going to rob your place just for the 45x zoom PTZ if they didn't have interest before that. They are probably thinking if this guy from Canada can afford a $3,000 security camera at the house, there must be something else worth a lot more in this place.
Believe me, even without any show of "wealth", just being a foreigner living here makes me a target. People will assume I have tonnes of cash and valueables in the house, I don't.
I love the video quality of the camera but don't have a place for such a big camera also. I'll be in the same boat as you if I had won.
I had thought about that also. But I felt that it would not be in the spirit of the lottery that Andy put together. It just did not feel right to me. I told Andy that he could pick a new winner, but he stated that maybe the best option for the good of the group here was to have someone do a review. I do not feel that I could do justice for a review of this cam. I have no place to mount it that would give the large optical zoom a test. I also really do not have the time or energy due to health issues to undertake a full-camera review.
Done.
