Thanks! If you're allowed to get smaller quantities at a higher price for black, that's O.K. with me. I'm ready to buy the first four of them.

The Camera is a S3 version, but on the label we will show S2, easier for guys to remember.

My Z12E-S2 won't hold the "customized scene" setting when it gets a little overcast. Switches to night and the picture gets blown out. As soon as I log in, it switches to "day". And I'M using IE.

I don't need a LPR Cam but just because wittaj review it, I want one lol

Try to switch the time to military format. See if that helps

Try a couple of things:

As @dubber said, this new GUI seems to work better with 24 hour format instead of 12 hour. I noticed the schedule had a mine of its own until I went with 24 hour.

Under day/night - force it in color during the day. That might keep it from switching.

You have a grey gap on the timeline - button the day and night together.

If that doesn't work, try the day/night profile as it seems to work as we expect it to.

Won't let me select color full time for day. I did do color for day full time under customized, but still switched when I logged out.

I'll try 24hr clock.

This is weird. Day time gain is set 0-15.

I am guessing all that dark paint was mistaken for low light LOL.

I would force the camera into color during the day and then force it B/W at night.

I don't think any of my cameras are on auto.

Have you had a dark cloudy rainy day set at 15? Seems pretty low. Definitely take both day and night profiles off auto color/b&w too

Thanks for @wittaj review, this camera have some improvement and we add the build mic to this camera, so will be a plus.
By the way, any guy think the full black Z12E is good for selling or not? Think to add a full black bullet camera to sell.

I'll take one as well

Sorry, realized you’re talking about a black one

Using "Day/Night Switch", won't let me change from auto to force color for day and B/W for night.

I think @EMPIRETECANDY should order 300 of a 5442-Z12 with 730 nm ir.

So, just figured out that you have to set full time color or B/W under "Customized Scene" first. Then, when using "Day/Night Switch" I can run full time color for day and B/W for night.

@wittaj will make another review on the 4MP Z4E S3 soon, 8-32MM LENS 1/1.8cmos.
For the Z12E, we are planning to get black color,but at least need 2 months can be ready, still no ready date.

 

[dubber]

Any in the turret version?

The optics are too big to put Z12E in turret version.

Good news, I'm going to wait to get one of the Z12E in black!

Great! I'm still looking forward to replace all four of my white ones with black ones.
