2.8mm Fixed Lens.

Not good for suspect identification. Only good for small coverage areas like a small room.

I think it's good for a front-door. He's saying within 10 feet you should be able to ID the person.

Yes, with more MP you'll be able to ID at a greater distance during the day only, but it won't have the great low light performance this camera has.

Yes, with a narrower lens, you'll be able to ID at a greater distance, but it will be a very narrow field of view.

Good question. I know Andy is carrying them and will have some sort of Black Friday discount. As they are new models we'll probably be challenged to find many vendors with them.

Hi Slickway, This will work. I have the smaller mini-dome wedge model which is nicer in terms of WAF - but it needs light.

Yes poopants it does have "shorter range"

Still a good camera to ID up to 10 feet away from the camera.

Indeed. Thanks MrMonopoly.

Weird question... Are the 2mp starlight cameras that much better at night than an 8mp 4k camera? I understood the sensor size difference, but shouldn't it balance out with the resolution too? Are they also worth the difference in picture quality during the day?

Hi BlackBeardPirate

Q: Are the 2mp starlight cameras that much better at night than an 8mp 4k camera?
A: There are a number of reviews and sharing of video examples at ipcamtalk on this topic, so that would be a good place to start looking closer at this question. Also remember there now are 8MP cameras with 1/1.8" sensors which do better in low light conditions vs the 1/2.5" sensor models.

Q: I understood the sensor size difference, but shouldn't it balance out with the resolution too?
A: This also is well covered there.. perhaps even in the cliff notes at ipcamtalk. The basic rule is that pixel size makes a significant difference for low light image capture. Most higher resolution cameras have more pixels on the sensor chips as well as smaller pixels. ( additional attributes also effect the quality of the image capture.. however to keep it simple I'm just talking about pixel size.. )

Q: Are they also worth the difference in picture quality during the day?
A: This is up to you. Most 8MP cameras will out perform a 2MP camera in good light conditions in terms of amount of image that is captured - and thus "ID distance". If all you are concerned about is image capture in well lighted conditions then the 8MP will often be a better option.

Naturally there's more details, specs, price points to consider - so many times it can be more nuanced of a issue when you actually are comparing this. ( example: many of the 1080P 2MP cameras can process far more fps than a 8MP camera which most of us are willing to pay for )

If I need only one or two cameras, can I use the POE and a free software on a Windows PC without the NVR? TIA

Indeed tytsupercharged

Just get a PoE switch, and Dahua's SmartPSS software on the PC.

See the cliff notes at ipcamtalk for info on what Dahua uses for the default IP, and look for the Dahua config tool to assist in initial configuration.

Hey Mat2000,
Do you by chance know the Dahua variant of this 1/3" Sensor camera?
