HFW4300D Camera

Looking at this camera for outside use to cover my parking lot. Has anyone used one? Are you happy with it's night time performance?


Thanks

Slightly less money (at least from this seller), better camera- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dah...-camera-Support-POE-Micro-SD/32660088679.html

The video in that camers is Good 'ol @Larebear's backyard.

Lare...the Chinese have hacked your friggin' network buddy...unplug the bedroom camera buddy or they'll be sellin' that weird stuff you do on the internet and that's a mind image that will be inerasable until the bitter end bro.

Yeah, they've been using my videos on several different Ali camera sites since last year. I think they should pay for the use of my videos, like send me a dozen Dahua cameras at no cost. eaceful:

Thanks for the heads up on my bedroom camera buddy. I was wondering why so many China gals were trying to Skype me. Must have made an impression.

2 questions

1) I thought that less megapixels would be better for night vision. Is this not true?

2) This camera states that it has IR but I don't see one on the camera in the pics. Does it have one on board or do I have to buy one separate?

1. Yes a little, but its not really that dramatic of an improvement and 2x the pixel density gives more detail if you provide adequate light.. see @Kawboy12R thread here: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/14553-Dahua-4431C-A-vs-Dahua-4231C-A-vs-CCTV-TOP-IMX322
2. Its hidden behind an IR filter, it has the same 2x LED's as that one does.. you just dont see em unless they litup and thats nice because I leave mine off.
