I'm new to the security cameras and have some questions. What are the best brands of camera systems? What size lens should I use for around the outside of my house(2.8mm,4mm or 12mm)? Why is the security camera footage that I see on the news so poor? Are the systems on aliexpress any good? Thanks for the help

Drunkpenguin,
Thank you. Do you recommend the Dania starlight cams? Could you recommend a good source to get them from?

Welcome Cjk,

It's easy to get swamped with information here, so I wanted to share some notes with you

Please check out @giomania 's notes:
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

I have also made notes which are a summary of a lot of the reading I've been doing here,:
Looking for some advice and direction!

Have fun joining us here.
