I'm ready to order a couple of varifocal cams to get started.... Last August the most attractive thing to me was the new 5231 (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE). I like the new look better than the three-eyed mongrel. I feel like we are on the verge of having close to or better 5231 night performance from a 4K (8mp) cam. I think you can't go wrong with the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE but 9 months later and some new products out, what would you seriously consider if you had no cams at all and you were adding 2, 3 or 4 to get started?
Also, one more thing, the technology is really moving fast.... what's really newer than the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE that is compelling to you....? The international vs US products are different and some of the DAHUA web sites are hard to read in terms of knowing what is new and a possible breakthrough. I recently saw some analog cams that looked WAY better than the IP cams at a local electronics store (Altex). And, I noticed that Dahua is super excited about CVI cams as well as a couple of members on this forum. I thought it was an IP world. Okay, any guidance to get me off the fence would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
