First of all, it's nice that I found the forum. Thanks first and greetings to all users.

I'm a little unsure about which camera to use.

It's about:
DS-2CD63C2F-I(V)(S) - Hikvision Europe

vs.

FE9391-EV - Fisheye Network Camera - VIVOTEK

1. The camera is for live streaming on a website and it hangs outdoors. The problem we have partly depending upon the day and/or time of year a backlight situation because the camera points to the south. I wonder which camera can handle it better.

2. Then the different focal length, I can hardly estimate how far 1.2 vs. 2.00 mm focal length will affect a fisheye camera. Couldn't find a URL where you can see it for Fisheye. If someone also has a URL for me. That would be great!

From the technical data, the HIKVision is my opinion the better camera.

What do you mean? Thank you for help.

PS: Yes I know, fisheye cameras are not so good for outdoor. But there is no other way.....

(EDIT: + question vocal length)

Hey, guys,
I have a little update. Have got the HIKVISION camera on loan.
The HIKVISION has clearly suspended the VIVOTEK camera.

The resolution is better and in white balance it's worlds. No green skies like during an alien invasion found at HIKVISION.
