I currently have three Hikvision bullet DS-2CD2042WD-I and one dome DS-2CD2142FWD-IS cameras. I am looking to add more to my BI system. I have been looking at cameras but the choice is overwhelming. I would like to stick with Hikvision since it makes updating firmware etc easier, but I don't need to. I just updated the firmware on both cameras but they seem to be at end of life (not sure what that means). Looking to spend $50-150 each. Would like a few indoor cameras, but some outside ones would be needed to cover garage doors and some other areas. The bullet cameras have problems with attracting bugs with IR.
I was trying to find a buying guide here but could not find much. I saw the Hikvision spreadsheet (though wish it had prices in it). Can anyone recommend some good references for learning about different camera types, lens types etc?
