Hard to say without seeing the scene. Light, direction, etc . Without seeing it I’d say the varifocal

 

[PPaul]

thank you for your answer. I took the varifocal and I am very satisfied.

I have 3 for the moment that suits me. However, I plan to activate the lighting when 1 cam detect movement at night.
