    Dahua DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-XA v DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-GB

    Thanks Andy Unfortunately the nature of our business means we often have to make good use of the mozaic masking to reduce the public areas and as the GB does not have that it has limited use for us. I have been lucky and managed to obtain 5 of the XA version after these are gone I am not sure...

    Dahua DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-XA v DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-GB

    Oh well the GB variant has arrived today and straight away i found a show stopper for us with this variant. The XA variant has Mozaic masking but has now been removed on the GB variant. Strangley I have one camera which is an earlier variant on the XA and that does not have mozaic so they...

    Dahua DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-XA v DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-GB

    Yes the downgrades are one of my concerns I have seen that on some other models. I think we will stick with the variant we know as it has been a good solid work horse for us.

    Dahua DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-XA v DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-GB

    We have been using the DH-PTZ1A225-HNR-XA for a few years now with fantastic results. this has far surpassed quality wise many of the other PTZ models we have tried considering its only a 2mp camera. Also night colour images in an area with plenty of ambient light beats any other camera we have...

    SD8A440-HNF-PA would you reccomend?

    One of our suppliers is currently selling the SD8A440-HNF-PA for £350 plus vat. Clearance sale so I guess it is becoming EOL. This seems to be an extremley good price for a smart wiper fittd PTZ. We are aware that it is a beast of a camera having the 1st 4K version of this cam. the wiper is...

    Life Expectancy of Dahua cams?

    Does any electronic equipment last long in this day and age. You would expect Axis cams to have a long life given the price, but we had one wehere the sensor failed after a couple of months granted they replaced it under warranty but it was a long drawn out procedure. We have over a 100 Dahua...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    No the camera never actually fell off a pole i was just saying that due to the weight and size I would not be confident mounting it on anything less than 125mm diameter and preferably much bigger like a telegraph pole. The SD8 is totalover kill for what we do but the location it was intended for...
