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.
