I am about to buy my first IP cam for outdoor surveillance of my patio.
After my research I'm set to buy a 2016 Dahua cam which seem to offer the best value and seemingly great quality.
Probably it's going to be one of the 2MP Starlight cams. I am confident that a vari-focal cam (for better adjustability) with a wide-angle lens will be appropriate.
But my question as a newbie is: is the form factor (bullet, dome, eyeball, mini-bullet, wedge dome) purely a question of aesthetics or are there certain pros and cons for each type I should be aware of?
Are cameras with a glass bulb (dome, wedge-dome, LXIR bullet) prone to be affected by dew?
Thanks!
