HDBW-5233 experience

[Jeronimo]

Does anyone have experience with the HDBW-5233R-Z?
Is this better than the HDBW-5231R-Z?

The HDBW-5231R-Z is a Starlight camera so it will have better night vision, and no dome so less glare problems

@Jeronimo, when I googled that model number for more info, the top two links were to buy it off of AliExpress... The product those links were selling looked old... one even had "New 2015" in the URL... and even though the item description mentions "low light", neither were Starlight models, so no way they'd perform as well at night as a Starlight model like the 5231.

Looking on Dahua's site, there is a newer 5233 model that is a Starlight model (so it should perform as well as the 5231), but it is not a vari-focal model like the old models on AliExpress.
