    low light camera turrent/eyeball suggest?

    Both of the Hiks are fixed focal length. The Dahuas are varifocal. That would seem to be a big advantage for the Dahuas, right? What are your costs on these 4?

    Where would I find a mount for this camera? Maybe something similar to the Dahua PFB203B?

    2 Candidates for a Blue Iris Computer

    Thanks for the help guys. I found a 1-year old Lenovo Think Center SFF computer with 7th gen i5, 8GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro, and 1TB HDD for $200 shipped. I am in the process of adding a 256GB SSD that I had laying around. The HDD is a WD Blue. Will that be OK for BI, or should I replace it?

    Is $425-$500 really that overpriced for a machine with an 7th generation processor (compared to the 4th generation i5-4570) and a 3 year warranty? Or does the processor generation not really matter? I have seen lots of posts that recommend an i5-6500 with a 2-3 year warranty for $300, but I...
