Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on which camera would be the best choice for my needs: the Dahua IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2-ASTE or the Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL.

Here’s a bit of context:

• I want to monitor my garden, which has two entrances.
• I love the idea of having full-color images in all lighting conditions without needing to turn on LEDs, as I feel this adds a level of subtlety to the surveillance.
• I currently own a Dahua IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV, and I’ve been happy with it.
• Both cameras are available to me at the same price, so cost isn’t a deciding factor.

From what I’ve read:

• The Hikvision has ColorVu technology, which promises 24/7 full-color imaging.
• The Dahua offers advanced features like heat mapping and people counting, which I’m not sure I’ll fully utilize for home use.

Which one would you recommend for a residential setup? I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts, especially if you have experience with either of these models.

Thanks in advance!
