Team,
For many years I've been enjoying a number of (slightly older) Axis cameras in my home setup.
6 years ago I started buying Hikvision cameras because of the value for money.

However, I do find the Axis firmware to be in another league. So mature, reliable, customisable and loaded with features.
With my Hikvision cameras there's always something strange, something that doesn't quite work as expected.

My latest Axis camera is the M3046.

Important features for my setup:
  • format: dome
  • Resolution: 4MP or higher
  • recording: to SMB shares in H264 (or nicer H265)
  • smart motion detection that doesn't record moving trees/bushes and is not triggered by sudden light (sun) changes. My Hikvision cameras are a nightmare when it comes to motion detection.
  • Ideally: built-in microphone
  • customisable: as much as possible (turning on/off network features, broadcasting, schedules, etc)
The question:

Is there any camera that comes to mind given the information above?

Thank you!
DJ
