Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

View attachment 13364

The label on the box states "LBH24S200"

Very confusing I must say. Your firmware string and indicates that you have the 3516C processor and the IMX322 sensor...but the Longse LBH24 product matrix specifies that the LBH24S200 comes with the 3516C processor and the IMX323 sensor and that the LBH24A200 comes with the S2L33 processor and the IMX322 sensor. So I have no idea what the fuQ is going on.

The fact that you're satisfied is what matters. How about. Posting some snapshots and video from that camera, eh?
 
So I ordered the besafe camera using Q's link. I did see the 40 dollar camera but it didn't come with POE. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered.

Please let us know what your camera label says and also what's your firmware string reports. What Sony IMX sensor was your camera advertised as having?
 
I ordered the LBH24S200 from Aliexpress seller CDY-Technique for the 39.59 sale price. Took about 12-13 days for shipping. Firmware says IMX323. Only issue I'm having is getting my cheap generic NVR to connect.

Yes, I have other cameras connected with ONVIF. The NVR can see the camera, but will not stream the video. I used ODM to get the details from the camera, and everything looks good. One of my cameras is connecting via port 8899, another one uses 8999, and this camera uses port 80. I also ran a port scan on the camera, and the following ports are open, 23, 80, 401, 402, 403, 404, 413, 443, 8000.

Telneting to ports 401-404 is interesting. Looks like consoles for status, event and error messages.

Yes, some handy read-only debug interfaces there, I've used a couple to explore and fix a network routing issue with events not being pushed through one NVR PoE port out to another NVR.

I was looking for one of this to test out but with POE, and it looks that is $10 more, but it has IMX322 + HI3516C instead of IMX323.

Here's a full resolution (1920 x 1080) image & video (10 FPS):

Onboard IR introduces much suQage into video. Turning it off when possible, ironically, leads to enlightenment.

I received the LBH24S200 that I ordered from AiliExpress for $39.59, however it has the IMX322 sensor. The current ad from the same seller does show the IMX323, but for $43.99. Not sure what happened, but for my purpose, I am satisfied.

Since I am shooting through a window, I unplugged the IR board and covered the white bezel and body with a mask made of black construction paper.

Right!
 
Received my BeSafe $39.95 + $5.99 POE option camera today. Testing it indoor at the moment.
Have a few questions.

- I don't see a spot for how often to update the time from an NTP server. Did I miss it?
- I'm used to Hikvision cameras where I can set up motion trigger zones and have it dump videos to a NAS device running SMB. Can I do it with this camera?
- What iOS viewers work with this camera?
