Another newb thread looking for advice and opinions... Sorry, please forgive me. I appreciathe these threads must get monotonous.
Anyhow, on with the thread.
History:
Last year I put in an elcheapo Sricam PT (no Z) 2 cam system on wifi to an access point then inside the house down a cat 5 to a basic NVR connected to the internet router.
The network side including the wifi is stable and I am clued up on that side of things anyway so that's no big deal.
The system is used predominantly for security as I live in a rural area and for the occasional watching of foxes and wildlife in the garden / top of my field.
Now:
The cams have in all honesty served their purpose as a starter system but the domes require very frequent cleaning to prevent dust glare from the IR LEDs, so now I have a wee bit of cash in the bank (£350 or so) it's time for an upgrade.
After reading all the recommendations on the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z I thought they'd be ideal and the Starlight cmos is something pretty amazing, however with them being fixed position, sadly they are a bit of a no go as I would like to keep the Pan / Tilt functions. On a side note the POE and running CAT5/6 to the cameras isn't a problem either.
So with this in mind my wish list includes PTZ and Starlight used for security / occasional wildlife. I have been looking at some of the Cameras from a Manufacturer called YUCHENG who advertise they use the Sony 291 Starlight CMOS.
The ones in particular I am looking at are linked below (eBAY Link). They don't burst the budget too far and looking at the demo cam on the CamHi app they seem pretty good.

Has anyone got any opinions on YUCHENG or the cams I am looking at? I couldn't find any information oropinions on them at all. Also are there any other makes / models I should be considering?
All opinions appreciated.
Cheers.
