Anybody know what the original Dahua models are?
Are they worth it to program and use?
I tried one and it was close to my Dahua starlight 1080P turret.

Are you sure that these are labeled dahua Cams? As far as I know, bosch develops their cameras by themselves.

They look like Dahua to me.

Dahua made certain lines for Bosch up until 2019. Those cameras look old enough to be pre-2019.

Sell them. Buy newer/better Dahua cams with the money. Pocket the difference.

Can I use the PTZ dome for Lincense plate camera?

 

[wittaj]

Most do not have success with PTZs and LPR due to the focus issue, especially at night. Unlike fixed cams where you can use an API to force a focus number, the PTZ does not.

Your best chance would be to run it in B/W full time, but you will have to be close within 40 feet or so for the varifocal. You will need a 1/2000 shutter at night and the image will be black except for the plate.

See the LPR subforum for more details.

1080P .. so 2MP .. chip size about the same as the 2MP Starlights cameras I picked up when I first started here .. ( lists as 1/2.8" and 1/2.9" )

If you're on a tight budget I would recommend testing these and seeing if they will work for your setup.
