definately not starlight, I am reviewing the 4MP version now and here is a comparison with this: Dahua 4MP Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW5421E-Z)

it depends on what you need it for...for outdoor work, yes...for indoor where its mostly used with lighting (retail) a 4mp might be a better option..
I'd be willing to put 4MP's on License Plates, Small Indoor spaces (Dog Houses/Pet Feeders/Sheds), and Indoor Retail/Industrial where the extra pixels help with readability and keeping a reasonable amount of detail w/wider angles and large spaces.. otherwise for residential use the Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup will typically be a better choice both indoors/outside since we cant leave all the lights burning 24/7, people need to sleep and neighbors have to be kept happy.
I already have cameras covering 100% of the front of the house. I've been wanting to add 2 additional cameras further out closer to the street on a pole pointing at each direction of the street to captures vehicles coming in and out. Generally, the street is well lit. I'd really like to be able to capture license plates as well. Will this camera serve this purpose or should I get a 4/5Mp camera?
Thanks Nayr, taking lpr away, would this be a good camera to use @ the mounting location suggested. As you pointed out, headlights will be an issue, but if I can't get the license plate, can I at least get a decent image of the vehicle to tell the make and model? I can always add a dedicated LPR camera down the road.
It is a HDW5231r-z on a pFB203w indeed on that picture.
Difference between PFB202W and the PFB203W is that the cable 'dent' is on the other side.
See the on this page next to each other.
Wall mount bracket
Th difference between 203 and 204 is in the hole distance for mounting camera.
These mounts are quite good, i will use them everywhere on my new house.
Explained it before, they have a detachable part that mounts to the wall (wall plate) and than you hook up the larger part you see on the images to it and lock it with small inbuss screw.
The detachable part is the same in the whole series, so whenever you change camera type, you can simply buy new mount for the new camera and hook it up. No new holes to drill etc.

you update your PTZ??? there still have a PTZ function you lost~ There has a small file for the PTZ part. Just update it and can work again.
there has stock now, but we can ship out around 5th-8th Feb. Already added 50pcs on each aliexpress shop now, i change the price to 170usd/pcs as we talked, but only can ship out after we back. I think can be enough for those guys who make the order on it.
For the guys who wants to use paypal one, i have a list who wants to do with paypal~ Will send the invoice soon. I already hold the stock for you guys. No worry~
Will not come to you guys fast when we are at holiday~

Andy

Hey Andy, my ultra starlight bullet said it would be delivered today, now it says

With a pending delivery date? Anyone ever seen this before? Will I be waiting until after Chinese New Year now???

Assuming the label was created Sunday, I believe that was an estimate. Now that is was actually picked up, the delivery date will change.
I saw the same with my order.
Hopefully it gets on a plane before the holiday.
