Hikvision Vari-Focal with Built-in Microphone?

[MarcF]

Looking for a camera. Ideally Hikvision as that fits in with my existing NVR and cameras but happy to use anything that'll speak to my NVR. Having RTMP protocol would be a bonus, but not essential.

It need to be auto focus and have a built in microphone. Around 2.8 but a motorised would do. Hikvision sell a 2.8-12mm vari-focal but it doesn't have a built in mic. I *think* some of the new Hikvision cameras do have both, but as usual no way to purchase as an end user.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi @MarcF

The only Hikvision models we are aware of that have both a varifocal lens and built-in audio are the newest Ultra Series G3 models (36x6G3/36x6GT Bullets & 37x6G3T Domes), but these are so new that there is little to no stock of these models available in the UK.

Was there a specific reason you needed motorised? You say above that you need 2.8mm, so why not just go with one of the fixed 2.8mm 2xx7G3 models?

Thanks Dan,

Basically we need Variable focus for our use case. Basically we stream a barn owl box to youtube 24/7. We have one camera external to the box that has a perch near it. Most of the time the camera is focused on the box itself about 5 meters away. But, when a Barn Owl lands on the perch, I need auto focus to ideally refocus on the much closer owl. Same reason for the requirement of a built in mic, so it can pickup calls of the birds.

I guess I need to wait for the new stuff to come in.

Thanks
