Hi,
I am still wondering whether I should go for a bullet or the turret variant of the ip camera. The camera will be surveilling the patio and it will be installed to a *vertical wall* just a 2 meters above the main door (4.5m from target) -pointing down towards cover the 4.5m long entrance . According to the lens calculator I will be needing a 5mm lens so I'd have to choose between 4mm and 6mm. To ensure that the area is covered, I am opting for a 4mm lens.

Will be purchasing the official hikvision junction boxes.

With regards to the weather, it is generally dry with only 3 months of mild rain.

Any help to let me decide what to go for would be highly appreciated.

Hi, I would go with the turret and a hikvision junction box to hide connection. Do not forget to put RJ-45 waterproof coupler shield. It will protect your RJ45 connector from getting corroded.
