Hi all. Looking for some product advice.

I'm looking to do a small 3 camera installation of Dahua cameras for a residential application. Two cameras looking down opposite sides of a house towards the street, with one side more heavily shadowed by an adjacent property and the other side looking down a driveway and more ambient light. The third camera will be covering a corner view of the backyard from the house. I have some good experience with some other Dahua color night vision products, and I saw that for international customers there are some recently released WizColor models that we don't seem to have yet in the US. I am looking specifically at the two below, primarily for the low light/full color performance with the larger aperture and 1/1.8 sensor size.

I'm curious to know if it is possible to enable the white LED's to turn on based on motion detected in a scene. I don't want them on at dusk/off at dawn or on some kind of fixed schedule because these will be sitting adjacent to bedroom windows. I only want the lights to come on when needed based on detected human motion. I am aware that some of the dual illumination models will do this, but I would rather not deal with the greyscale video that is a hallmark of IR LED operation, and I would much prefer a full color view with the lights coming on to provide some additional illumination when someone enters the frame. If anyone can help me understand if this camera is capable of doing this or recommend alternative products that does have this capability. BTW, I am in the US, so if it is going to be an international model, I would appreciate a recommendation for a reputable supplier. My US supplier tells me that they cannot get them for me.
 
First off, all cameras need light - either visible or infrared.

So maybe you have enough light or you are running your existing cameras under defau;t/auto settings and any camera can look good in that arrangement, but motion would be a complete blur, but that is for another discussion.

Second, this is the camera you want and is the upgrade over the 2449 that you are looking at. It is sold by trusted member @EMPIRETECANDY that sells International Dahua OEM on Amazon, here, and on his website:

Is that the 3000 series Pro?

The 2449-pro that he asked about is the cheap-@$$ plastic version with the tab instead of the locking screw and no speaker.

The camera I linked is the 3449-Pro that is the all metal version with locking screw instead of tab and comes with the red/blue flashing lights if that is someone's thing (But isn't needed and can be disabled). This version is basically the 5442 with a speaker.

2449-PRO is very basic plastic model with very limited feature set..
white light can't be activated by motion - this feature is limited for TIOC line...

look at 3449 TIOC-PRO - it have this feature, white light activation for people or/and cars..
