Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

unfortunately i didn't found any release notes
 
I'm looking for a POE switch recommendation/confirmation for 3 of these cameras. I have one cat6 cable run to an attic over our attached garage that will support data for the three cameras run back to a centralized gigabit switch. There is power in the attic.

My plan is to use something like this:
Product Details for PID 18518 with a data only uplink from the central switch and this unit providing power and data to the 3 cameras. It's a 5 port switch with 4 Poe at 30w max and 60w total. it looks like the cameras are <8.5w, so it seems like I should be ok, but I've seen discussion of cameras needing up to a 48w connection, so wanted to confirm. Also, should I be worried about 3 cameras sharing a 100Mbps connection back to the switch? Sorry for the Newbie questions and I appreciate any help.

I am currently waiting on 2 bullet Starlights. Paid via PayPal. While waiting got to looking at the PTZ version. That thing is pretty awesome. Would you get 2 or 1 ptz if you had the choice?
 
I have mine in the garage; its not waterproofed and condensation risk would be high.. I'd not put one outside not contained in a NMEA enclosure of some sort

With your HiPoE midspan you could run 4 off it no problem; im overdriving mine w/out issue

Morning folks... So after reading alot of threads from everyone here, learning, and my own experience with Hiks (not necessarily bad), I'm helping a friend set up his residential system. Two camera's in the backyard, two cameras, in the front yard, and 2-3 indoor cameras. I'm was planning on the IPC-HDW5231R-Z for the front outdoor cameras as true security cameras.
Question:
1) Out back, he is more concerned about picture quality and covering the pool / backyard area, which will most likely but utilized 90% during the daylight, that said, should I go with a higher MP camera, as if I understood correctly, during the daytime would possibly be the only time the higher MP would be beneficial. If so, Is there a Varifocal that you all would recommend? Looking to stay sub $170.
2) Wanted a recommendation for the indoor cameras, which will be utilized in kids room and possibly inside aimed at front/back doors. I have a hik 2.8 minidome that I love, does Dahua starlight have a minidome that would be recommended over the Hik?

@EMPIRETECANDY what's the current timeframe for shipping of IPC-HDW5231R-Z?

@EMPIRETECANDY , I'm confused. If you didn't get enough stock to satisfy all the orders, how can all the Paypal and Aliexpress orders be delivered by next Wednesday?
 
Likely, the reason being that he doesn't have any more, and doesn't want people to order them until he does.
