They clearly have an interest in marketing to the US, since they applied for and were assigned an FCC ID.Dahua USA is odd. They never carried over the super popular Starlight 5231 varifocal turret, AFAIK. And they put the Starlight tag on some 5MP models that don’t seem to perform nearly as well in low-light as Starlights should.
They did have fixed starlight turret and the vf only in bullet and dome....Dahua USA is odd. They never carried over the super popular Starlight 5231 varifocal turret, AFAIK.

Here's the point I'm making. Overseas has more available models than the US. Perfect case in point, I just received an email from my Reginald rep as to how can Dahua USA improve on better serving our market.
Dahua has thousands models and their main target is the big project, not the home users or small business, US has a super big market for the camera market. It's a super big cake.Lol. We can do better than most of the local distributors, lol.Dahua USA is odd. They never carried over the super popular Starlight 5231 varifocal turret, AFAIK.

I’ve had an A46 installed at a family member’s house for a few months now. Other than gripes about the crackling audio and how klutzy the Lechange app can be, they like the camera. I hope Dahua can really spruce up the Lechange app before any official US launch. It looks like amateur hour compared to Nest/Arlo, etc.

This cam works with:
Each present's different options that can be adjusted in the camera. To get the best results from the cam, you will need to poke around in the settings with both the Lechange App and the Dahua ConfigTool.
- SmartPss
- Lechange App
- Blue Iris
- Dahua NVR
- Dahua Configtool
- Direct Web Interface
The two way audio works as designed with Lechange, SmartPss, DirectWebUi. Audio is completely acceptable in both directions. I have not attempted to get "Talk" to work with BI. Receive Audio works fine.
Cam is easy to install either with the Lechange App or to the default IP of 192.168.1.108.
The only real quirk I've come across is that the Smart Tracking is spastic at best.
That may work better in a room that does not have so many windows as the one I'm testing in.

My local supplier is getting better based on my clients. If I need a camera, they can usually get what I need. I'm waiting to see about the starlight varifocal turret. That would be icing on the cake!
