yes, IPC-HFW4231S | Dahua TechnologyI am looking for a DaHua starlight camera that has the same form factor as the HFW1320S. Is there such a critter?
Thanks,

that stuff is temporary it will come back in the warm weather or when the poison weakens or is washed off...bullets are a poor design...I had a spider who kept dropping down in front of mine to make use of the IR. I sprayed a long lasting poison on the overhang above the camera, haven't had a problem since.
the op does not live in NZ....even every six months is insane - going around to all your cams....regardless, its a poor design...why anyone would specifically want a bullet is beyond me, it provides no benefit...Yes, but It last 6 months and I've just been through summer here (worst time of year for them where I am). I guess it is also going to depend somewhat on where you live.
Just in general, spiders aren't much of problem here at all, unlike our mates across the sea in Australia for instance, who are quite happy to have spiders the size of dinner plates scuttling around their houses banging into doors - because they are harmless and keep all the poisonous ones out![]()
The HFW4231E-SE a little bigger than the IPC-HFW4231S.HFW4231E-SE this one looks better and more professional, lol.I posted info and photos for the starlight mini bullet here: Comparison of mini bullet HFW-4231E-SE with 3 other cameras . Looks like it's about the same size as the HFW1320S.
you can do this with a turret...bullets are an inferior design in all aspects...I have my one attached at a 45 degree angle to the soffit under the gable of my roof. I thought it was the only way to get the angle and distance away from the side of the roof I needed in this particular mounting situation. I have a PTZ at the other end of my house and still have the odd spider drop off the gable in front of it. I never have webs made on the cameras themselves, the smart little buggers just drop in front of them to use the IR lights, so I don't see how the differing form factors of the camera would help in this particular situation.
Okay, so just to double check, I've gone and taken a photo of it. Now I only installed this a few months ago, so I am not going to be replacing it anytime soon, but it would be good to know if an eyeball camera can do the same thing for future reference when I do replace it.you can do this with a turret...bullets are an inferior design in all aspects...
for folks who just want what they had before or dont know the difference...and for cams with really long lenses and/or strong ir where they need more room.I mean there must be a reason why they are still making this form factor.
..
One more question though. Is it true that STARVIS=STARLIGHT?
Also dahua has recently applied the term to some cameras without Sony Starvis sensors.Not all Dahua OEM cameras using the Starvis chips are "starlights".
