Dome Cam Recommendation

[wicked_chicken]

Hello,

I've recently expanded our patio and want to install a camera to cover the bulk of our patio/pool. I am wondering if a panoramic camera on this corner overhang would be sufficient for gross coverage and if so, which Dahua might be best suited?

Thanks!

Have a look in the Wiki, in the blue bar at the top f the page. You'll get some excellent guidance regarding placement, lens sizes and performance.

I'd suggest this one in 3.6mm. Excellent, both with light (day) and without (night). Right now, until midnight today, they are on sale by Andy at EmpireTech, an excellent and reliable source. Stay away from domes. The domes reflect IR light, collect dust and can yellow with age if exposed to sunlight, just like we get a suntan.

Thank you.
I screwed up the title of the post. I should have titled it "Panoramic or Fish eye" rather than dome.

You might want to have a look at this one then. Two cameras in one but they are in domes.
