Hi all,

Made some compromises with locations and camera types when I first set up my system a couple of years back. I have a mix of Amcrest and Dahua 2.7 (variable)/2.8 (fixed) mm IR "turret" style POE cameras, 4 and 5 MP resolution.

Looking for some camera recommendations which can give me a wider or broader view of some of the areas outside of my home. I know there is a need to balance the ability to monitor vs. identify, but I'm feeling I don't have enough of the perimeter of the house covered and wish to shift a couple of the cameras to improve monitoring.

Looking for some recommendations for cameras I should consider that would meet the following requirements:
  • Wider field of view
  • Local network only
  • Synology Surveillance Station compatibility
  • Ideally match the PFA130-E junction box without modifications
  • IR is a must due to low light conditions
  • Ideally priced $200-300

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I've looked at those and see that most if not all don't have IR. I'm also not sure about the compatibility with Surveillance Station. Thanks.

about 180 with IR:

Thread 'Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?'

I want to buy a 180 degree camera for my backyard, but there is no ambient light and I don't really want to leave LED's on all night (we already get lots of bugs and spiders without lights on).
But all the 180 degree cameras I see recommended with good size sensors, ONVIF support, good substreams etc. don't have IR capability.
I know these 180 degree cameras are still kind of new. Is it just a matter of time until they release new models with IR, or is there a reason they aren't making them with IR?
I know nobody has a crystal ball, but I'm very new to IP cameras and just thought some...
