Look forward to your review, klasipca.

I am looking forward to my review as well

Just putting this here. Another company sells line of these cams with the same firmware:

Thanks klasipca, am definitely looking forward to seeing how these perform!

Entire UI is below using Operator account. As expected, it has about the same level of features as Huisun, but options are not clear in some places.

Network page. Only HTTP port listed, no editable RTSP port! I didn't get answer whether it's a limitation of the Operator account or it's just not available and defaults to 554. I configured the cam using ONVIF profile in Tiny Cam Pro and it will only work with Jpeg protocol, not RTSP. It wouldn't work with Hikvision NVR using ONVIF profile.

I am glad to see that company posts their firmware on the site, no need to hunt down supplier:
http://www.herospeed.net/herospeed/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=lists&catid=7


The demo is running at 4k bit rate, I tried 12k (max) and 500 bit rate. Still excited getting the cam, the only question is whether RTSP streaming works via TCP/UDP which I can't figure out from this demo.

Hum, does that mean it may not work with Blue Iris?

The description page indicates is supports rtsp and onvif, i have seen some cameras that have the rtsp/onvif port settings on a completely different and obscure page in the settings...

That's my hope as well, I didn't get an answer from the Longse rep yet on that.

554 port is listed in the user guide when using HeroSpeedCMS.exe software:

OOOOOOHH!!!! I WANT!

Fingers crossed it works as hoped and I'l be buying one in a heartbeat.

I can tell you already that purchasing process through Alibaba isn't something I would like to do again, it's not really designed for single/retail purchases. The only reason I am going through this is because I wanted wider lens option vs standard 5mm which is listed in the Aliexpress. So, we'll see what comes out of this, I was told it should ship next week, which is going two be two week production for a single cam.

What NVR could you use with this camera? I am also very close to buying one of these but wondering what NVR would actually work with this because the camera is h.265 and the NVR's are h.264. I'm an IP Camera newie so please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.

I suppose I could use a computer with Blue Iris...

Also, did you order the one with POE?

Thanks.

Out of interest, what lens options do they have klasipca?

well, according to all the descriptions native lens is 5mm, but I requested 3.6mm which they said they could do it, so we'll see what I actually get.

With that large sensor, I assume the FOV with 3.6mm would be pretty wide?

I hope so, it will be replacing 2.8mm, so I don't want to narrow the FOV

If I throw in the values here, it comes out to ~87 degrees

I was just doing similar here: http://www.scantips.com/lights/fieldofview.html

So that's pretty much spot on with the 2.8mm, 1/3" in a typical Hik 3MP. Good stuff. I'm keeping fingers crossed it will rock, and work with BI.

BTW, like your evolving avatar...

So, Gixels are wider than pixels. got it!

@klasipca no where in the specs/description can I see any mention of an IP/weatherproof rating. Do you know if they're supposed to be "OK outside"?

It might not be, or a spec issue, for me it's not important since all my cams are mounted under eaves. Although this one, same exact sensor, does have IP66 rating http://www.longse.com/Info/View_pro.asp?id=901
