Need advice to find right camera

[Shwagiedo]

Hello all

I am looking for a domed ptz, poe, with real night vision to place under the soffet on my second story home so it would also be nice to have some ability to zoom the camera cia
The lens. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a camera from any manufacturer?

I have looked at the lorex LNZ32P4BW but it appears to not have true night vision.

I would appreciate any help or ideas anyone has thanks for your time

Welcome Shwagiedo,

I recommend taking a closer look at the Dahua starlight series, they have PTZ versions.

It's easy to get swamped with information here, so I wanted to share some notes with you

Please check out @giomania 's notes:
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

I have also made notes which are a summary of a lot of the reading I've been doing here,:
Looking for some advice and direction!

Have fun joining us here.

Is there a huge improvement between a 2mp cmaera and a 4mp camera ?

Hi Shwagiedo,

There's a lot more going on in a camera besides MPs ( mega pixels ), so do not use that without looking closer at the actually image quality.

Please do look at the notes, and you will see a 2MP starlight out perform cameras which have many more pixels in low light conditions.

Do you mean real night vision as in thermal imaging?
Hikvision makes a dual IR \ Thermal PTZ that looks really cool but probably REALLY pricey I'd imagine.
