$69 motorized varifocal 4x (2.8mm-12mm) Longse

I don't mind testing and trying to find something that suits my needs. I guess it's all pretty new to me and seems a little overwhelming. Pulling cat5 this weekend and continuing to study. Thanks for the reply.

If you are overwhelmed then start with couple of popular choices and try it out in different settings. For example Hikvision 4MP turret and Longse 5MP that Q mentioned.

That's my plan.

I am in the process of ordering two LRDC60XA200.

This shit is confusing enough without referring to these cameras as "Longse varifocals." Which "Longse varifocals" have you ordered? Cameras have model numbers; why not recite the camera's model number to remove all doubt about which cameras you are referring to. I would imaging that you are referring to the Longse LRDC60A200 or the LRDC60XA200. I have received a LRDC60XA200 and, at this point in time, I would not order another one. IMO the image this camera produces is "fuzzy" (lacks clarity) when zoom in to 3.x or greater. I'm still testing and adjusting so my opinion may change in the future but -- at this point in time -- I don't care for the camera all that much; I'd grade it a "C."
 
Q do you have option for ISO+? It was available in earlier firmware but I can't find it now and produced much better results then normal setting. I only see this option in my IMX124 camera now.

After reading my last I see how I made it confusing and I was referring to the cameras you referenced by model number.

My LRDC60XA200 camera's web interface (Firmware Version: S2L33M_IMX322_PTZ_W_6.1.30.3) does not display an "ISO+" setting @klasipca.

Those look good. I'll keep them in mind for my next order. I pulled the trigger on 2 HikVision DS-2CD2342WD- I 4mm that will cover my driveway and front door.

I'm getting vaccinated for it.
