Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

[nymphaeles]

@nymphaeles, can you post a photo?

Yes, I'm planning to order more of this cam and will have a detailed assemble by then. Since that wall mount is designed for the cam, they fit nicely to one another. Basically, when you open the cap of the cam by loosening the out side torx screws, you see the base of the cam with 3 pre-drilled holes at around the edge of the base. The PFB203W comes with pre-drilled & tapped holes that match those 3 holes at the base of the cam. The PFB203W also comes with 3 hex screws and an Allen wrench that you use to attache the cam to the wall mount. Aesthetically, they look pretty nice and professional altogether.

Great that's what I was hoping. I could place this on my driveway wall to cover driveway and front yard.

Backlight setting control is missing from camera 2 while it is available for camera 1.

@EMPIRETECANDY
This is a firmware issue. Can you relay the information to Dahua for a fix, please? Thanks.

Backlight setting is available for cam1


Backlight setting is not available for cam2

@EMPIRETECANDY , when will you be getting more of these in stock? also, whats the price for your long term members that have ordered from you before?

 

[ingeborgdot]

This is not a varifocal cam right?

 

[flynreelow]

This is not a varifocal cam right?

nope!

 

[ingeborgdot]

Looney, how does this compare to your little PTZ, the SD1A203T-GN that you have for quality of pic.

 

[ingeborgdot]

nope!

Yeah, I didn't see that any place and just wondered if I had missed it.

 

[EMPIRETECANDY]

@blake
Yes. I use a PFB203W with it.

Ok, I will talk with them, they normally fix up bug every 2 months and release a new formware ,the stock comes but slow, so we have to wait to next month.

 

[EMPIRETECANDY]

This model has 2.8mm and 3.6mm, not sure which lens use more, so bit hard for booking stocks, but till now 2.8mm use little more than the 3.6mm.

Basically identical.

 

[ingeborgdot]

Just that it's not a PTZ.

Having challenging finding that particular link.

Axis cameras % seem rather high imho. I don't know this space well - so I am just looking at it from a consumer level - not a professional installer or seller level.

I am still impatiently waiting for these to come into stock. This is going to help fill in a blind spot i have.
