    Moving on from 2020 Lorex Nk264-89AB 9 Camera System?

    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    Good morning everyone, Some years back I bought one of the original IP cameras, it was an Ubiquiti(sub branded, actually manufactured by Hikvision I believe) and after I got it working it was pretty cool.

    NA Models of 5231 & 5442?

    Just out of curiosity are there Dahua cams intended for the North American market that directly match the specs of the now famous 5231 EZ (turret) and the new 5442 that some say replaces or competes well against the 5231? Are the same exact cams in NA but sold under a different model number and...

    IPC-HDW2531TM-AS 5MP "Lite" 1/2.7" Starlight - any good?

    Anybody seen/used these - seem to be new for 2019/20? From the "Lite" starlight range. How do they compare with the 2431 4MP or the older 2MP starlight? Presumably they are at least somewhat better than the Chinese market HDW4431C-A, HDW4433C-A or HDW4631C-A with their 1/3" and 1/2.9" sensors...

    Dahua Starlight vs Hikvision low light performance

    I've spent hours trying to figure out which cameras are good for low light/night color recording. On this forum, it looks like Starlight is the gold standard, however, looking at specs for Hikvision's EasyIP 3.0 2355 Turret (5MP), the lux ratings are nearly identical. Does that mean hikvision...
