I put one of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z I bought in the basement to keep an eye on the lower entry doors from the inside.
The wife has not been too happy about that because of the size.
I would like to have something a little more discreet for my front entry indoor, ( looking at both the front entry and down the adjacent hallway looking toward the entrance from the garage).
Any recommendations between the two below or another option
I'm looking at these two below based on their size:
IPC-HDBW4231F-AS - (Mini Wedge)
4.17”×1.98” (smallest Dahua option I think)
Min illumination 0.009
Aperture F2.0
or
IPC-HDBW5231R-Z (Dome)
4.8”×3.5”
Min illumination 0.006
Aperture F1.4
Varifocal so I don't have guess which FOV option is best
I noticed although the 5231 has a larger aperture the stated min illumination is more?
Why would that be, other things being equal, (which it seems like they are from the other specs.)
Both have IR which I want.
Since each entry location is basically 90 deg direction from each other, if I went with the 4231, would I need the 2.8mm option, (it comes in 2.8, 3.6 and 6)?
Both say "IVS optional"...How do I know for sure if these models have it?
