Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

Hate to be a stickler for detail but the PFA110 is the mount adaptor, your thinking of the PFB300S .

Thank you. Hate misinformation. My bad. Edited.

Sorry for the confusion @Hound Dog 911, I was looking at the adapter part #. I edited to the correct part #.

 

[Hound Dog 911]

I figured it out. Scratched my head for a few moments but I knew what you meant.

I think andy is going to start including the nicer looking arm mount in newer purchases but don't quote me on that. I'm looking at possible pole mount on the roof, but I will wait till I get the arm bracket and the waterproof junction box to decide if I think I can rig it up somewhere else.

 

[Hound Dog 911]

I emailed him inquiring about the better arm mount. Supposed to ship today. Any reasonable cost pir sensors that function with this camera?

If you go back through the last couple of pages you will find a number of brands thrown around like Bosch, Optex and Risco. I recently just placed an order for the below thanks to @Solar Deity for the reminder that Aliexpress have sensors .

Bought these two packs: $16 Each
Amazon.com: BOSCH SECURITY VIDEO ISC-BPR2-WP12 Blue Line Gen2 PIR Motion Detector for Security Systems (2 Pack): Camera & Photo

They are not "outdoor" rated, but they are being mounted under a soffit, and I can take care of that with silicone. They are successfully set up through the NVR alarm inputs to activate PTZ presets.

Have not tested them through the camera alarm inputs (it has two), but I plan to.

One would be under the over hang. One probably not. I've read through the thread since ordering. I did see the Optex post. Thanks for the additional links.

That's the problem I've got is can't find any outdoor rated ones that aren't for floodlights
Its doing my nut it searching

I'd think you can take an indoor and silicone it up.

I've been debating it and trying to fund a place where I can put one that's half sheltered

I mean it's plastic, as long as water stays out I'd think you could hang the thing off a tree in the rain.

 

[reeves1985]

That's it though .the only place I can put one would be open to the weather.
Which surely won't be good.

If I had an ever or somewhere I could tuck it away from the main bulk of the weather I'd take the chance.

There's got to be some somewhere without getting ridiculous prices

I can rig some stuff. I get this new camera up and I will be dieing to tie some kind of sensor to it. Going to have to get a microphone for it as well. More money!

 

[reeves1985]

I think I've found something suitable actually

Premier External TD - Black AFQ-0001

 

[cryptelli]

Decided to order one from the below vendor.

Wired Dual PIR&Microwave Complex Outdoor Anti mask PIR Motion Detector,Pet Friendly, for Home Burglar Alarm System on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Was $5.29 cheaper, had a believable stock number, fair amount of orders and on general feedback from buyers the shipping was quite quick so what's too lose?

Since this was my first order on Aliexpress I was wondering if my payment would get rejected like some have reported, but was pleasantly surprised as I just received the order shipped notification. I'll be sure to provide an update once I have it in hand and played around with it.

On the subject of powering it, what are your plans on the install you are doing @Solar Deity, PoE with 12 splitter or transformer? I was thinking of using a 1 to 4 PoE extender which will allow a single run of cable to power multiple sensors, any ideas?

I've not spent more than $500 at a time through paypal but never had an issue, alliexpress either.

 

[Solar Deity]

@cryptelli, This was my solution as the corner of the barn has a power outlet within easy reach. I will split the POE for the mic power, and use the 24V power brick for the camera.

Great forums here and this is a really good thread, thanks for all the information. The camera in the OP has piqued my interest, but trying to understand the difference between these two?

• $549.99 Dahua-2MP-25x-Starlight-IR-PTZ-Network-Camera-SD59225U-HNI-free-DHL-shipping
• $518.00 H-265-Encoding-SD59225U-HNI-WDR-2MP-POE-25x-Starlight-IR-PTZ-Network-Camera-DAHUA

No difference between the 2. Just different sellers from what I can tell. Recommend buying from Andy, as he always ships the fastest and least troublesome way. I'm always wary of sellers that show high quantities (997 Pieces?), as they tend to not really have it in stock. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true. Empire (Andy) is by far the most reliable source.
It's worth it to pay the extra few dollars. Andy stands behind the products, with warranty coverage.
