Looking for recommendations on your favorite wide angle (fisheye) POE IP cameras

[MichiganBroadband.com]

If you like please share with me your favorite POE IP camera for wide angle stuff and thanks!
I've been having difficulty finding anything I like the feature list of that is over 120°
I think 127° was the max FOV I found in s short time looking around and ,many of them were not IP cameras.

There was also some kind of "superbeast" I found at one time that had like 5 or 6 stationary cameras combined and blended to give some kind of a 360 view.
Or it was just a dream as I cannot find that thing now.

Thanks again!

Steve

I have one of these Dahua IPC-EW4431-ASW 4MP PoE WIFI Panorama Fisheye IP Camera MIC Card Slot Audio | eBay and installed another for someone else. This model is not strictly weatherproof and it looks like the exposed lens is a point of possible water ingress. So even though I mounted this under an eave, I pressed a bit of coax-seal around the gap between the lens and the camera body.



Its low-light capability is similar to that of other cheap 4MP cams (not Starlight), and being a fisheye you wouldn't be using it for identification purposes anyway so I don't see that as a problem. It is best used with a strong, wide-angle IR illuminator like this one I've been running for 4 years.




Insects love this cam. I guess they see the black circle in the center and think it is something to eat or maybe a place to hide because they're all over it.
