I have a wide angle (2.8mm) Hikvision camera on my garage that acts mostly as an overview (I have much tighter zoomed cams for anything detail oriented). I put this camera on my bedside monitor so I can see whats out there if something makes a noise at night.
I previously, and briefly, used a terrible Acti E77 camera there which had a 101 degree horizontal FOV.
I replaced it with a Hikvision 2.8mm camera a few months later. The horizontal field of view for 4:3 aspect ratio is only 86 degrees.
Anyway I want to replace this camera with one that can see all the way to the fence on the left side (neither of these cameras do / did) and a little extra vertical FOV wouldn't hurt either. Anything in the ballpark of 130-160 degree horizontal FOV would be okay. 180 degrees would be fine, even, if there is nothing better.
Unfortunately, I have never seen such a camera from a respectable brand like Hikvision or Dahua that wasn't also ridiculously expensive for a single camera. Does anyone know of one I may have missed? I want to keep it under a maximum of $400. Under $200 would be okay too. This area has craploads of infrared bathing it so it doesn't really matter if it isn't very sensitive for night vision.
