Mini PTZ v2: 4x optical zoom version

Does anyone remember what the advertised IR distance was?
 
50 meters (4x/3x) and 80 meters (10x)
 
I'm with you @klasipca, can't see buying another while they are having problems with it. They have know about the problems for some time now and have not been any help.

Basically she said that 4x that we all got in this batch had "bad lens". They went with another supplier and upgraded to newer lens in the new cams... This is the cost of being early adopter. I've removed the faceplate which improved the night vision to the point almost as good as previous 3x and doesn't appear mine has any focus issues.

So you get a $30 discount? You get to keep the cam and get $30 back? That is not bad. I will file a dispute to get $30 back.

How easy is it to remove the face plate? Will it make it more exposed to the element?

The face plate isn't really protecting anything aside from cleaner/stealth look.

OK, I will give it a try tonight.

For the bad lens, is it possible for Monica to send us a new lens?

You can try, let us know if it's possible
 
I just IM'ed her. Will pass on any info if I get any.
 
My camera doesn't even work and she's only offered me a #10. refund. She has not offered any help and just responds with more questions to kill time. I believe she just hopes I'll give up.
 
I thought about cutting holes in the faceplate in front of the IRs and using grommets to clean up any ruff look of the holes in the faceplate.

No not the sleek black look but still hides some screws and the SD card slot. (That doesn't line up with the real SD slot) or does it? I haven't looked really :laugh:

The SD card slot is sealed anyway so nothing can be inserted into it. If there was an actual slot in it then the camera wouldn't be weatherproof

Good point, hadn't given it much thought, never planned on using it. I also don't plan on opening the cam unless I really need to.
 
But, has anyone thought about mounting a small IR light to the camera case?

Might be a bit large and I don't know how well these really work, 30-90 degrees, might be ok for close, would need something better for long distance.

Just thinking the IR would at least pan with the camera rather than flooding everywhere with IR.
 
She said if I buy another camera from her, she would send me a new lens. Or at least that is what I think she said.
 
I prefer to avoid external IR, would rather mount 10x instead
