Andy, I just ordered the IPC-JFW4239T-ASE from your Amazon store. I was pretty torn between this and the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. Let's see if I regret it!!

Careful, this place can become addicting.
-Sigh- I was afraid of that... I just started piecing together my home automation system approx. 4 months ago and I'm already so far down the rabbit hole it feels like I'm preparing launch a friggin' space shuttle...
Thanks for the warning
I know the common guidance is away from bullets due to spiderwebs, but would this TrueColor have less issue with that because it lacks the IR? I'm guessing the dome will have the same UV issues of prior dome cameras?
Anyone can tell me how this model is likely to compare to Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-AS or Dahua IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE ? Possible 6mm option to go with the overview 2MP?

I can't speak for UV issues as I've never experienced them myself. Bugs will still be seen occasionally in front of cameras without IR, but chances are far lower of a spider building its web in front of one without active IR LEDs. The true color model is basically the same as those except it trades IR compatibility for better low light performance. These are fairly large as fixed-lens bullet cameras go, so just be aware of that.

Correct, since many bugs (that spiders eat) are attracted to the IR bulbs, this camera won't have that problem. I've had mine up for several months w/o any webs getting in the way.
Comparing this camera to the other starlight models is a bit tricky. If you have streetlights or other ambient lighting 24/7, the 4239 is pretty amazing. You'll see color detail the others can't capture... nights w/ a full-moon look like daylight. But to capture that, the shutter is running pretty slow which causes a good amount of motion blur. So indeed, as i stated earlier, you'll be able to see that a person was wearing a yellow jacket and blue jeans at 2am. If they were moving, ID'ing their face might be kind of tricky, but if they hold still, you might get enough detail.
The other starlights with IR illumination can actually give you a sharper image at night, but only with a B&W image (ir cut filter disengaged). So you might be able to capture a license plate or detailed facial image w/ an IR starlight at night while this 4239 camera could give you the color information. If you're considering the 4231, you should also probably look at the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS... it's like the HDW5231 but w/o all the smart features, which many people don't need.

Today I installed my first (I say that now that it is night) IPC-HFW4239T-ASE. Very impressed! Running it along side three other Dahua cameras, HDW5231R-ZE, HFW5231E-Z5E, and HFW4231E-SE. The low light ability is flat out amazing compared.

Will do and will buy a couple more for strategic locations. This camera is convincing me to improve my 12v exterior lighting around the property.WOO, thanks for your sharing, could you please make a short review on our amazon link if you buy it there.
Edit: In fact, I just pushed the button to order another one.

For a comparison of my new 4239 vs. 5231s (top row) and 5Mp Reolink's bottom row.

Sorry just a pic of my monitor using my phone. Not supposed to be quality. Just a relative comparison of light gathering. Thought it was telling.

If they are not in the same location, then you aren't comparing the same thing. Each one of my cameras is tweaked differently due to its surroundings.
I guess I misunderstood, I thought the image top-row, third-from-left was probably the TrueColor picture and the image directly left was approximately of the same space (better pictures would definitely have helped). It looks like all of them are in night-time mode except the one to me, but better closeup images might really highlight the differences.
