Any worries about warranty, support, or firmware updates not buying from an authorized reseller? I guess for that price difference some risks would be justified. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to get old stock with the hardcoded passwords.

Also there was a guy on ebay selling those cameras a while back too and I picked up several for under $400. The bracket comes and is a arm welded to a flat surface than can be bolted directly to a wall, I just drilled some holes in the flat surface and used some stainless U-bolts I had left over from old Pac Wireless/Laird antennas to bolt that to whatever.

The camera I am using a PTZ with 30x optical zoom Dahua brand model# DH-SD50A230IN-HC-S2 Its a Chinese camera but the housing is rugged and rated for IP67. You can pick them up for anywhere from $400-600 online. Here is a video I made from a 130' tower with this camera. In the video I am controlling the camera from 15 miles away sitting at my office. https://youtu.be/wl9gLF0nZ9o On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 6:49 PM, Jerry Head <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: We have hung about 6 of these for the local 911 guys... http://www.axis.com/ie/en/products/axis-p56-series They seem to work pretty well.
