Got my 5mp motorized lens dome today

[vector18]

I'm gonna test this camera out. I like the 5mp, but not really interested in the motorized lens option.

im curious about the night vision on it..5mp tend to do poorly..

zoom on a fixed camera would need a very specific use case to justify; like looking down a long road/drive/etc..

am curious to see some captures from it; the 5MP should look great in the day.. whats the model #?

Please report back.

Well, the IR works very well inside my apt. I need to find a home for it outside somewhere to test it out further.

In curious on some outside shots with 5mp also.

 

[vector18]

I'll try to find an outdoor home for it soon

Vector I'm wanting t9 buy a few of the 5mp domes...what you think of it compares to the 2mp mini ptz dome?

That's about as large as the old industrial looking Hikvision I'm reluctant to mount outside my house...

Seriously sweet looking cam...

It is bigger than the standard fixed lens cameras, but smaller than the mini dome ptz's that Dahua makes. I haven't really messed around with it too much, but the IMO, the focus is slow responding
when using the motorized lens, and it seems you can only use the motorized lens in the web browser. The image and the 5mp is outstanding and the night vision is suprisingly impressive. I'm still looking for an outside home for this camera though.

Any videos of it vector??

 

[vector18]

It's just sitting in my apt right now. I'm even thinking of selling it. For myself, I don't see a need for the motorized lens.

 

[pal251]

I would like the higher resolution. You would be the best if you got me a sample video or login

 

[networkcameracritic]

I found motorized lenses to be more of a PITA than not. It's tedious to keep tapping + - and the perfect focus is in between two clicks. The only good one I've use is on the Axis P33 domes.

 

[pal251]

I would like t9 try an axis but I won't buy a new nvr for it

 

[vector18]

Pal, I'll try to set it up on my terrace in the next day or two and give you remote access.

 

[pal251]

Vector that would be awesome

I've had a couple of 5MP chinese cameras for a few years now, and they are still my best image day and night. High resolution doesn't always mean poor low light performance. The problem with my cameras is the video streams are a bit unreliable (lots of visible artifacts compared to other cameras) and of course the web interface is IE/ActiveX garbage of the worst kind.

Still waiting vector
