    Loryta or Hitosino 4MP

    I appreciate your input. How do you think a 4MP 1/3 sensor will perform at night with a bit of supplemental lighting? I would really prefer to have a camera with a 4MP 1/1.8 sensor but I can't justify paying around $150. What's the cheapest 1/1.8 you know of?

    Dahua Web 5.0

    I also like the feature of being able to schedule my day/night profiles start on different times based on the month. Current firmware doesn't allow that. I'm sure there's other bug fixes and features i'm not aware of too.
