Searching for HD IR outdoor eyeball IP cameras

Post by gregbzone »

I'm searching for eyeball outdoor IR IP cameras for zoneminder recorder / server.
Prefer 3 megapixel or greater, and less than $150 per camera.
Running zoneminder 1.29 on Ubuntu on Intel NUC.

I found a few candidate cameras on Amazon - Has anyone successfully configured zoneminder to use any of these?
I'm looking for positive (or negative) responses.

None of these are specifically identified on the HW compatibility list.

    Amcrest IP3M-956E 3 Megapixel Dome IP
    Dahua IPC-HDBW5300 3 Megapixel Vari-Focal
    Dahua IPC-HDW1320S 3 Megapixel
    Dahua IPC-HDW4421M 4 Megapixel
    D-Link DCS-4802E Vigilance

    GrandStream GXV3610_HDv2
    GW Security GW5088IP 5 Megapixel

Other candidates welcome.

Thanks, Greg

Late to reply, just in case anyone else needs same info.
Most of those will work with Zoneminder.
I have a bunch of Dahuas and one Grandstream
working well on Zoneminder.
Only one I am not sure of is D-Link.

Look into onvif device manager
you can usually get the H264 string from it.
