I need to purchase a third camera. Which below do you recommend? Thanks

I have two IPC-T54IR-ZE 4mp varifocal cameras en route to my house, and I'm going to place them next to each other in the center of the front of my house to blanket coverage, probably setting each to 100 degree fov. The 4mp was chosen for its superior low light recording.

I need to buy a third camera for redundancy, to aim at the gate opening in my front yard. I need a clear, evidentiarily useful recording of a trespasser's face.

My driveway exits through the six foot fence on the right side of my yard. Someone could jump the fence, but I leave it open and at least in the front yard it's the only way anyone has come into the yard. My fence is perhaps 25 feet from the front of my house. I have a carport on the right side of my house that the driveway feeds straight into. The roof there is fairly sloped so that it's not difficult to reach the ceiling there except perhaps at the tallest point.

In theory I would really like a nice varifocal 4k camera but I understand it may suffer from poor low light recording. What third camera would you recommend?
