Help needed to select an ip dome with 2 way audio.

[Cypher007]

Want an ip dome for our front door with 2 way audio. Human tracking would be nice.

I’ve tried a Ctronics CTIPC-285C and the mic turns off after a few minutes from power up. The firmware looks like the same stuff my Dads ip camera has and that isn’t ptz. I’m guessing all these Chinese domes and ip cams are using the same firmware.

I don’t want to spend a fortune. I have a Foscam indoor cam which was maybe double the price of the Chinese cams, and it looks and performs very similar so not impressed.

Hi @Cypher007

If you are looking for a camera with 2-way audio for outdoor use we would recommend the DS-2CD2346G2-ISU/SL 4MP AcuSense Turret from Hikvision

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there anything cheaper below £100? Maybe without tracking?

There is nothing cheaper we could recommend that has 2-way audio and is safe for outdoor use.

 

[Cypher007]

the only problem with that one is it doesnt come out from the wall on an arm.

None of the 2-way Audio cameras we would recommend have a wall bracket included, but they can be mounted like this with an optional accessory but you would be looking at an additional £30-40 for that bracket.
