Im very guilty of reading learning, waiting and reading some more and waiting some more before ever buying anything....someone here once replied to me that while Im waiting to pull the trigger on just the right perfect cameras to identify a robber...Ill probably have already been robbed ha-ha.
Guess we all have to decide what is good enough for or needs and price range and make a decision and go with it.
That said, based on @nayre's posts and testing, who I think we can all trust here given his past massively detailed contributions, this IPC-HDW5231R-Z seems near perfect enough for most any need I may have around my house becuse of the variable focal length and good quality night images. So Im just going to buy several of these and get going...uh, when they are availablel again.
I also bouht 1 Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN) after his reviews and am not disappointed with it so far...sjust wish they made that one in a weatherproof version as is and Id probably go with more oth them instead bc of the ptz. but they don't.
