Turret Camera Recommendation

[dsabot]

I have a large warehouse (20,00 square feet) that I am looking to add more cameras to.

My requirements are:

Turret camera
Audio recording
Works well in total darkness
Great image quality

EMPIRETECANDY suggested the 6MP Dahua DH-IPC-HDW4631EMP-ASE. I got one to test it out, and it is ok, but when people walk past the camera in the daytime, the image kind of streaks.

Since i need to purchase about 10 cameras, I was looking for something that wasn't super expensive.

Thanks in advance...

There are no cameras which will work well "in total darkness."

Have you bothered to read the IP Cam Talk Wiki

 

[dsabot]

Perhaps my phrasing is off. A fairly dark warehouse.

Read the IP Cam Talk Wiki and then ask questions.

I did read the wiki and still have questions. If you don’t want to help that is fine, but I don’t appreciate you insinuating I haven’t looked for answers.

My Fairly Dark Warehouse at 4:44 AM with just the Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS provided IR light. This is a $120.00 2MP camera provided by the incomparable and ridiculously excellent Andy @EMPIRETECANDY...

And how the fuQ are we supposed to know that unless you tell us? And if you had read the Wiki you'd already know about several cameras that meet your OP requirements.

If I am supposed to announce I read the Wiki every time I post, then perhaps it should be noted in the Wiki, which is isn't.. In the meantime, why don't you try a little kindness instead of coming across like a total jackass. I am pretty sure you too were a noob at sometime. Try to make this a warm and inviting community, rather than being cold and unhelpful. And if my "stupid question" somehow infuriates you then do everyone a favor and skip it. No need to comment further.

 

[Q™]

Infuriated? No. Amused? Yes. Your question stupid? No. Poorly thought out? Yes indeed. However, I am presently convinced that you are profoundly stupid. Prove me wrong.

Perhaps the question was poorly thought out. Still no reason for you to be a total jackass. In terms of proving you wrong, well, there is certainly no logical way to do that. What I can say though, is that I am fairly certain that you wouldn't have the balls to call me stupid to my face. You have an invite to come to and prove me wrong. In the meantime, enjoy your sad pathetic existence Q.

Yes, if totally dark, then use 2mp. IPC-HDW2231R-ZS is a good choice.
