Has anyone purchased this dome camera (IPC-HDBW5442E-ZE-S3) or a similar one from icctvzone? I couldn't find much on the forum about that company.


It's a bit more than $30 cheaper than what empiretech charges. I prefer buying from Andy but $30+ is $30+... FW supposedly is upgradable. It takes about the same time for delivery.

And is a $80 cost increase from fixed focal length to a variable focal length normal? From my recollection that seems high. I have a bunch of Dahua variable focal length cams and I think they were no more than about $50 over fixed focal lengths. I could be wrong, though.
 
I think you’d be crazy not to buy from Andy, especially over $30! The knowledge and time that he has for all of us is easily worth the $30. Sounds like you should hold off on buying a camera or look at Andy’s refurbished list!
