I mounted an IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-6mm (you still see the ladder). It still seems too much of a wide angle, though. My main goal is to record/identify anybody that comes through the side. So it seems something like 9mm to 12mm is appropriate. I don't have much lightening on that particular side. Maybe something like an IPC-HW5241E-Z12E would do? Are there any other cams similar to the Dahua that perform well in low light and ideally have varifocal lenses? I don't like the dome cams as they gather dust/rain spots, etc on the lens and then are terrible in low light. The turrets seems to perform better.

The ZE is a varifocal up to 12mm. Are you sure that is what you have?

The 5442-Z4E would be another possible choice at up to 32mm focal length.

Sorry, I got this wrong. I meant IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-6mm. I will correct it in the original post.
 
I assume it is the end of the fence that you want a view like this

How far is it from the camera to this point?

Yes, exactly!! Anybody that walks into the side, steps into the front yard, etc. I could run a cable closer to the front but that means a steeper angle which is not good plus I would have some exposed wires on the wall (ugly).
 
Below is a still from the B5442E-Z4E set at 27mm. I am about 40 feet from the cam. This should give you some idea on distance and FOV. This cam is a 4MP on a 1/1.8" sensor. It is a bullet and has no built-in audio and is an 8-32mm varifocal.
