Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

CapeData said:
I don't intend to use POE and didn't see the current requirements listed in the specs. Would the 1.5A adapter be adequate?

It should be but I usually use 2A adapters with my cameras that don't include PoE, just for more peace of mind. :)

Great thread, thank you! I just ordered a "BeSafe" to replace an older wireless Foscam that finally bit the dust. The value and image quality of this camera looks hard to beat. Again, thank you for taking the time to compare all of these cameras!
 
Disappointed & suspicious - got an email from aliexpress stating that my order had been "closed" for security reasons and they wanted me to submit various documents such as passport, social security card, driver's license, credit card image and statement, etc.

I think this is asking a little (actually, a lot) too much.

Have any of you experienced this?

I order a lot of merchandise online and have never run into this before.

Just remember @DryHeat...it's a $40.00 camera, and that's cheap.

No; that definitely sounds like a Phishing scam. Did you log into AliExpress and look at your My AliExpress > My Orders to see if it really was cancelled?

But compared to Foscam pricing it should be $200.00

No, don't send in this multitude like that to anyone. Including your own bank!

Yes, it was. I googled this, and others have had similar experiences with ali.

"SOUNDS LIKE" is an incorrect description bro...should be "IS WITHOUT A DOUBT IS DEFINATELY" would be a much more appropriate one. run

Awesome IMX322, and more importantly, Awesome Zombie-Cat!!! Looks like it got a hold of some tainted utopium and Max Rager.

Hey Q2U just curious on how are you running the wires to all these cameras?
Click to expand...

A bundle four (4) Cat5e ccables which are tie-wrapped together and exit a small channel in the basement Bilco doors and then lay on top of the grass. Not exactly state'o the art, eh?

I've come to like this camera location and I may install a permanent buried cable (or 2) in the future.

your suggestion has no IR and I definitely need IR.

It might just be a 'black face' variant, with the LEDs under the IR-transparent plastic.
But I didn't read the product description fully.

*edit* You are correct - no IR.
