What are you trying to accomplish? Well-lit area? Total darkness? Size of area that you want monitored? Do you want to ID people's faces? Do you need color information? What is your budget? Do you have POE connection or are you requiring WIFI cams?
There are many cams that can be used indoors. But one needs to define the purpose to make that choice.
Are is 120sqft 12ftx10ft Office, I have POE in place and would require IR as at night lights would be off.
Is there better resolution version of this one? Some with 4MP perhaps? That might be ideal as would fit in one of the corners.

The Dahua T5442T-ZE is a 4MP on a 1/1.8" sensor. It has a 2.7-112mm varifocal lens so you could set up your FOV as desired. It has a cousin that comes in 2.8, 3.6, or 6mm on the same sensor if you know what FOV you want. This is called a T5442TM-AS and is a little less expensive than the varifocal.
Here is the varifocal cam:

@samplenhold Thanks, I have left over IPC-T5442TM-AS 2.8mm fixed focal that was my other option but was looking for something smaller as might be too much for room size.

There are 5mp versions of these wedge cameras as well. The benefit of the 5mp is that you get a 4:3 image so you get more height than the 4 or 2 mp cams which is something you may want. Although they may not have the best low light sensors, in a small indoor space with IR bouncing all around they will be more than adequate while blending in. I run two of them in my office.
I found it in Andy's Amazon store. I will reach out to him as I want to switch to 1U NVR to clean up my rackThere are 5mp versions of these wedge cameras as well.
