Reviewed that camera here: Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN)

they changed the model number from S to T last summer when they changed some of the hardware inside; performance seems pretty much the same.

warning: thats not a weatherproof camera.

Thanks Nayr,

About being non-water proof. Would you say it would work outside if it was sheltered from the rain?

I also noticed looking up close to the cam pictures, that the turret does not appear to be actually covered with what we would usually call a clear dome. Do I see that correctly?
 
I have mine outside under covering and it's fine.. but we don't get much fog here

No dome, this is a turret style ptz

shelter would be ok, just keep it far away from rain or wet, mostly should be work well. SD29204T-GN is the new model right now.
 
Can anyone please help. I just bought 2 SD59430U-HNI and want to
wire power directly to my cams with the power supply. Do I need to block POE power on my NVR ? Everyone I have asked has giving me different answer from china
 
Why do you want to power those w/external power supply and not PoE?

you dont want to give it both PoE and external AC power at same time.. pick one, not both.
 
They are long runs and I have power out to the cameras. I am just wondering how to block the power from my POE port. I was looking at making my fittings without the powers coming into them. I want the cams going into my NVR I just don't want the power
 
the power typically comes down the data lines, thats not possible.. If you leave the pins floating it wont have any data-link.

plug it into a non-poe switch and network it w/the NVR..

I will try few things out when I get home before I hang them. They arrived in thailand today but will be April before I get there. Thanks for the help. The company I bought them from said you can run both at the same time and it will switch to the best power source. Dahua told me to call the ones I bought it from.
 
terry,

Welcome to the forum!

My poe Dahua cams came with a very short quick start guide. In caps, the guide warns NOT to connect both 12V and POE at the same time. The warning says damage will result.

Maybe they fixed that weakness in newer cams.... But maybe not? Proceed with caution....

Dahua says: Allweather proof. My camera is outside in heavy snowfalls and -20° Celsius. Still walking strong:)

Dahua does not say its all weather, read the spec sheet: SD29204T-GN | Dahua Technology

here', i'll draw you a photo.. (hint Ingress Rating: NA would read IP66 or IP67 if it was all weather, and rain == 100% RH)

There are no gaskets around the memory card or anything to protect the circuit board from water ingress.

IT is funny. If you are looking on the Dahua Side in the web you find the Camera listed under the IP67 ones if you klick:all :-) I dont know if its true. OK if you use the wallmounting brackets you cover the SD slot and the circuit board copletely. I asked Dahua today knowing I will never get an answer:-)
I think I have to go back to Instar. But there is no PTZ with better resolution:-( Dahua.JPG
