Again old information.... lorex OEM was 2019 

not owned by dahua at that time .. it is now

Quoting from the OEM directory:

Quote

FLIR: After selling off Lorex and their SMB business to Dahua in 2018, FLIR has shifted from their previous Dahua OEM line to the Dynacolor OEM Quasar/Ariel cameras. However, there are still some remaining stock of FLIR-branded Dahua OEM cameras available in distribution."

post your link again from your first post as it does not work now

I have an Axis 3224 lv camera. I know they are not outdoor rated. Wanted to know if anyone has bent that rule and how it has worked out for you?

The P3224-LV is IP52 rated, which means that it's dust-protected and tested with dripping water with the camera titled 15° from its normal position. If the camera is under an overhang, it should be fine. People have bodged Axis indoor cameras to work outdoors before, like the AXIS 207mw being fitted into outdoor light housings as seen here:

Do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible if your camera breaks months later because you tried to bend the rules

(quote) people in USA would go mad if dahua was using this tech in the USA....... yet no mention of lorex  now 100% owned by dahua same software 

IPVM does keep a directory of Dahua OEMs and Lorex is on there: https://ipvm.com/reports/dahua-oem

Also, the original article is on Hikvision, not Dahua. 

I was wondering what your opinion on this is.
