I got a free IP5M-T1179EW-28MM from Amcrest - Same Menu's as Dahua?

[Philip Gonzales]

What camera and junction box is that?

IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and PFA137. I bought from Andy. Sorry too lazy to hunt down any links right now but let me know if more info is desired.

How does someone get involved in one of these tester promo programs?

For me, I saw their post on facebook and followed the instructions in the post. The post was removed shortly after I responded to it.

Here is the account it was posted from. May be worth messaging them and asking if their are any more testers being sought out.

Thanks but I left facebook a long time ago. It was mostly people ranting/complaining about anything and everything. That and "viral challenges" or politics.

dang

I found their ad on Instagram i believe. They were looking for testers for cameras, baby monitors, doorbells etc..

Anyone find out what Dahua model this is? wondering if some added features can be unlocked with a fw flash.

Yes, goto the dahua firmware upgrade thread, its discussed in there and can be upgraded to dahua fw

Looks like a legit deal for anybody new to the field or just cheap and reluctant to even install one in the first place. @Philip Gonzales post the video here, curious to know the format. Also camera is $70 on Amazon Amazon.com : Amcrest 5MP UltraHD Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera with Mic/Audio, 5-Megapixel, 98ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording (256GB), White (IP5M-T1179EW-28MM) : Camera & Photo

Advertised as Starlight but not really Starlight as far as ipcamtalk definition is concerned

Serious question
So what define "Starlight" on ipcamtalk....?

Dahua 5231 have
0.006Lux/F1.4 ( Color,1/3s,30IRE)
0.05Lux/F1.4 ( Color,1/30s,30IRE)
0Lux/F1.4 (IR on)

The Amcrest IP5M-1179 / DH-IPC-HDW2531T-AS-S2
0.008 Lux @ F1.6 (I assume its colors 1/3s)

it is only slightly higher than the 5231?

The 1179 low light performance is running circles compared to my Amcrest 2496/2499 or (laugh) the IP3M-943 I'm phasing out.

So it would qualify as basic starlight

I see these Armcrest IP5M-T1179EW-28MM on Amazon for $49 free 2 day prime shipping and was going to buy
I found it when searching for a Dahua IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2 Starlight camera
and this Armcrest IP5M-T1179EW-28MM was noted as a Starlight camera at $30 less
How does i compare to the Dahua specifically the STARLIGHT QUALITY ? was very interested for $49 free shipping

 

[Bitslizer]

They go down to $45 sometime.
Compare the minimum lux spec on the spec sheet
