Just received this camera from Andy. I will be adding to this post as I have more time to play with the camera.
The Camera:
This camera has an 8mp 1/2.5" sensor and should perform similarly to other dahuas with the same sensor, though the lens is a wide 2.8mm.
The housing is all metal.
It comes with two mounting options shown in the image below, allowing for table top placement. It can be powered by POE or 12v.
The camera has a built in mic as well as speaker. The camera can be triggered by PIR and/or pixel based Motion detection. There is an "area" setting on the PIR settings page that allows you to require pixel based motion detection in conjunction with PIR for the alarm to trigger.
Upon trigger it can sound an alarm and/or engage built in white light LED's. The LED's can be set to "flicker" or "Normally on" for 5-30 seconds. While the alarm is not too loud, it is certainly loud enough to get the attention of someone messing with you car.
The camera has a small single IR led.
The alarm audio page seemingly allows you to modify the alarm sound with your own wav file, however it is grayed out. It is possible this is due to not installing the SD card. EDIT: Added the SD card. Still cannot change or modify the alarm.wav file.
The camera supports audio level based triggers as well as IVS tripwire/intrusion.
The camera has an always on green led in the front. Looking to see if there is an option to disable.
Blue iris compatibility:
It does work via onvif using find/inspect. However, the talk function does not operate. This will likely require someone providing access to the developer so he can get the talk function working.
The good news is that using the onvif profile, blue iris will detect the PIR triggers. Once the talk function is ironed out Blue iris users can send any wav file they wish to the camera upon trigger.
