Do you need to zoom in on something? are you planning to do a alpr / plate reader ?

I love the 5442. The low light color is amazing. The fact that it has all the smart features. Line crossing people counting and more. I would definitely only use Smart cameras. It makes a lot less work for the computer and it's easier to set up in my opinion.

I did it all my self it was not bad. ran all the runs out the basement by where the cable tv comes in the house. set the switch up down there and 1 cable to the office.

yes he dose ship to usa i live in minnesota. the 4 pack of cams took about 3 weeks. the two 10 packs of cams took about a week. sent dhl on the 10 packs

Oh 1 more thing don't forget to use Dielectric grease on all out door connections.

So have 4 of Dahua 4MP AI IR Microphone Starlight WDR ePOE IP Camera IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE 3.6mm | eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dahua-PFA121-PFA130-E-PFA134-PFA136-Water-proof-Aluminum-Junction-Box-Wall-Mount/184490366542?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=692194222699&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649...
