you can shut off the IR so it'd run inside an enclosure, good luck.. share what you find
That's a good deal I tried to buy one but aliexpress said my account is disabled for security reasons, WTH I have never bought anything on that site yetI purchased a Dahua 4X Speed Dome because of this thread. I appreciate Nayr for his review, which made the decision of buying this camera an easy one.
Purchased from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Dahua-MINI-PTZ-4x-optical-zoom-IR-Distance-up-to-30m-SD29204S-GN-with-LOGO/32659611002.html for $169.19 shipped via mobile app. Buyer has the option of DHL, Fedex, or UPS all of which are included in the purchase price. (Although that can change at any time.)
(included a pic side by side with a Huisun/Improx Mini PTZ for those curious about the size)
Order was placed on 05/06/16 shipped through DHL wrapped in the DHL cardboard envelope with brown tape.
Ship Date 05/10/16
Received 05/12/16 (6 days to receive from the order date is pretty awesome!)
It is currently indoors. I've tested it and I am very pleased with its performance and features. Image quality is very nice both day and night. I can post some samples once I get this thing mounted outside.
Sure thing, hope this helps...@ilrider78, can you attach a photo of the top of the unit so people can see the waterproofing issue? Ive been meaning to get an image of the top but I've not taken mine down for any reason so far.
depending on where you park it yeah, you can hear a whine.. I had to adjust my night time preset because it'd whine for a few mins after moving to it.. its to be expected, all my ptz's emit funny noises when you attach a microphone to the body.I just received this camera, is it normal to hear some motor notice after it finish panning during the startup?
Me too - well my first IP camera anyway. After we had someone try to break in through a window, we grabbed an analog LaView system, and I am SO ready to be done with it.I ordered this model as my first camera. :laugh: Can't wait to get it.
It would be so good if you could share some details in a dedicated post? Like are you using external PIR? Which automation system are you using?i am using a home automation system to trigger PTZ presets via Dahua HTTP API, its all custom..
He has shared a ton of his home automation setup. Just search the forum here for it. Lots of reading on that one.It would be so good if you could share some details in a dedicated post? Like are you using external PIR? Which automation system are you using?
