Getting the hang of it
I have a seen a few listings on eBay for Visualiant mini-dome and bullet 1550 cameras for sale. Does anyone have any feedback? The low light capabilities seem great.
HI @SafetyfirstI have a seen a few listings on eBay for Visualiant mini-dome and bullet 1550 cameras for sale. Does anyone have any feedback? The low light capabilities seem great.
Off hand the specs look good. I don't know much about the brand, so I can only give some basic guidance on what in general works.Any feedback?
Thanks. I couldn't find much about them on the forum so I figured I'd ask.Off hand the specs look good. I don't know much about the brand, so I can only give some basic guidance on what in general works.
Mini-domes / domes - issues with outdoor use ( see the cliff notes ): internal IR light reflection into the lens, plastic dome decay issues when exposed to heat / uv. Thus many prefer to to use that style indoors, or in areas like the front porch which is well lighted at night so that the IR leds do not need to be turned on.
Bullets - many prefer turret form factors as bullets often have issue with bugs / spiders attracted to the IR led ring around the lens.
A bit more reliable than the Dahuas that Andy sells? Not sure what more reliability there could be.a bit more reliable
Up until recently Panasonic was selling rebranded dahua cameras. Want to pay 6-10x for axis or avigolon. Go ahead.When would someone use for example Panasonic etc then? I assume they are slightly more reliable?
Why waste time. What is your budget.what good is a reliable camera if the image is poor.What would you suggest if reliability is most important at different price points?
My budget is about 300-400 per camera I would need 4 for the hallways as tenants have restraining orders against one another due to previous threats towards one another. The hallways are L shaped I saw the visualint Mini domes due to the wide angle and compact size. I don't need the best image just a time line if one stabs one another etc. which has happened in the past with different tenants.Why waste time.
