    Hikvision Bullets on Amazon

    I bought one of Amazon just to see and it was English, BUT, it had a China region code, meaning that next time you upgrade the firmware, it will revert back to Chinese.

    I need to monitor one IP camera on one large (20-24") screen

    I use an Android stick for this, works fine running Android camera viewing apps. About the same price as the Fire stick, but more pure Android. I believe with the Fire TV products, you are limited to shopping in the Amazon app store which is limiting.

    Dahua 3mp fixed eyeballs

    They call bullet cameras Piñatas here. Half the cameras at home are Piñatas and the eyeball cameras are a great compromise between bullets and vandal domes.
