I have one 2.8mm 4K-X bullet original firmware version from the year 2021 as an overview camera. I don't really notice the close-focusing problem like other guys often mention here in the forum. Maybe I got lucky or the 2.8mm 4K-X bullet version do better than other versions of this camera with the focus problem. For me, other then the size of the 4K-X bullet is too big and the mic volume is kind of low I'm very happy with the camera and it's working well 3 plus years now.
lol. I'm leaning towards picking up a few different ones.
4K-T turret 3.6mm, 4K-X 6 mm and IPC-T58IR-ZE varifocul 8MP 1/1.8"
Looks like some minimal blurring on the rooftop within that 6-8 ft, although watching you come out walking does look clear.
At 12ft it looks like I would be able to identify
At 35ft were about loosing identify it seems. Looks like we might be able to identify well up to 20ft even using the 3.6 mm.
So at night-time these distances can diminish?
Thanks for sharing that photo. I have watched a few of his videos.
Yeah, I see now how no way can we identify far beyond 20ft using the 4K-X 3.6mm. Great distance view. I can make out somebody there but will never be able to identify at that range using that size focal length. I'm starting to get it more so.
Nice night time recordings with the 4K-T looks very nice.
That gator shot is awesome. Don't see that sorts of stuff here in my area. Is that in the back of your property?
Very nice seeing all this. I can see how the 4K-T at 3.6 mm will do good to identify at those first two shots (8, 20 ft). Anything shortly beyond that is going to work more for recognize and observe.
Take a look at this video where I compared the 2.8mm, 3.6mm, and 6mm 4K-X cameras. The telephone pole in the center of the screen is exactly 50' from the 4K-X. The middle of the street is 32', and when the guy crosses in front of the camera at 2:51, he is 13' from the 6mm camera. Be sure to watch it in 2160p.
I agree with the sizing of the 4K-X bullet being a bit on the large side. I also feel that way too, reason being I thought the turret version would look better against my wall. I would like to see the turret version also come in the 6 mm lens (like with the bullet version).
I also like that the turret versions come in black. Would be nice to see the bullet in black.
Can the firmware on these security cameras always be downgraded if ever necessary?
Very nice. Thanks for sharing the videos. You caught some possums there on the 2.8 mm.
Night time view looks a little fuzzy. Day time looks much sharper.
I like the 3.6 and 6 mm cameras.

Anybody have any photos showing how the bullet and turret looks hanging on their exterior walls? Would be nice to get a general perspective on how the sizes of these cameras look on the wall..
