I too am interested in seeing a sample video when you have the chance please, @whoislooking. Much appreciated
Huisun 1.3mp Speed Dome PTZ with Auto Tracking and wiper
- Thread starter whoslooking
- Start date
mine has just been shipped so if I get it and mount it before Darren I'll get a sample video up.
Looking forward to getting it up and having a play with it
Don't even need a ptz but hey ho a new toy to play with!!!

I have been contemplating a PTZ too, not that i really need one but it does provide that cool factor with flexibility to monitor the front of my house out to and down the road in both directions. Might even catch those beggers who keep letting their dogs drop landmines on my front lawn. LOL. These ones still equate to approx Australian $600, so still not cheap. I would be very interested to see how you guys go and await the sample video's.
Nice Work Lads

While PTZ's are great, the biggest drawback for me on them is their ability to only monitor one area at a time. In many cases, it can be cheaper (and more useful) to get several still cams pointed in different directions to get all areas monitored at all times. This is especially true if the zoom part isn't very important.

Yeah, I never bothered with PTZs, too expensive and limited use because I would prefer set it and forget it. Perhaps auto tracking would be a nice feature if it works well, but again, not worth the $$$. In case of Mini PTZ, it's a no brainer, it's a heck of deal for what you get, I don't think people realize this yet and probably put off by unknown brand, but it's much better then any Hikvision in this price range.
When I originally ordered the 2mp version before changing to the 1.3mp
The price was £240 including dhl shipping
£200 for unit £40 shipping
I changed it to 1.3mp after chatting with Darren and deciding the 1.3 would give a slightly better night time picture.
Ill pm you over a login although it's not really dialled in at the minute as I've only finished installing it today
Yes that caught me out to start.
I ran a seperate 1mm cable to the camera
Cut the dc Jack off the power brick and soldered it to my cable
Then used bullet connectors on the power brick end to connect up and it works a dream.
I initially used some old flimsy power cable from the analogue age and it didn't give the cam enough power to run the ir and the ptz controls at the same time
Thanks for the info and looking at the login reeves1985 sent me to his camera well I was impressed by the night time captures I was seeing.
Looks like Monica is going to get another order tonight
Haha I knew you would!
They are very impressive
I have just spoken to her over whatsapp about something so I wouldn't image it will be long

I think the links she sends are based on the price agreed for the camera and shipping. It all depends, but the chances are that she will send you the link for the regular price+shipping listed on their website. If you are able to get it for a cheaper price and/or cheaper shipping, then she will send you the link with the agreed amount. That way when you add it to your cart in Aliexpress that would be what you pay for the transaction. As far as the 2mp vs 1.3mp it depends on your needs. If night vision image and quality is important to you, then a 1.3mp should work better. Apparently for these speed domes you can't really tell much of a difference from recording at 720 vs 1080.
The night image is better on 1.3mp Day is better on 2mp
Taking the whole package into account, cost and performance the 1.3mp wins hands down.

Even so it still is a low lux situation so the 1.3 will perform slightly better.
If it was full daylight then granted the 2mp would be a slightly better picture.
But for the difference and the price difference I wouldn't bother with the 2mp
That's just my opinion and I could be totally wrong.
My situation is the same as yours with a street light right outside and I'm happy with the 1.3mp choice
Especially comparing it to my 3mp 2032's
Well you are correct, even with street lighting the lux levels drop compared to natural light.
I'm not saying stay away from the 2mp, again it's personal choice and both are really good value.
