Hi everyone. I'd appreciate some advice please. I know the 1/1.8" CMOS in the 5442 Dahuas are favoured on the forum. From what I understand, this is primarily for their night time clarity. I am considering getting a HDW5442TM-ASE. I am after a camera that overlooks the rear of my property. 2.8mm or 3.6mm. Night vision is important but not super-important for me. It is mainly for daytime footage and must include audio. I have a Dahua NVR with 12TB of storage. At the momenty I only have one Dahua camera which is a HDW2431TM-AS-S2 in 2.8mm. I am quite happy with it for the price and if can't do much better then will likely just get a few more of these. If I can get 1 month retention from 4 cameras at 15FPS recording 24/7, I will be happy enough.
My question is would I be better getting a higher megapixel camera? If so can anyone recommend one in same price range as the 5442? I understand that the 5442 is not being produced anymore so what will all the 5442 fans be going to in the future?
