New 5MP camera

[Benja]

Hi

I have just started using surveillance around my house.

Just to try it out I got 2 DS-2CD2155F-IS off www.aliexpress.com for only 89 usd a piece.
I had a Synology NAS server so I am just using that. Everything works great and I am very happy with the result. So now I would like get some more cameras to cover the hole house.
Now I just found out that the DS-2CD2155F-IS is no longer available as multi language on aliexpress.

Now the questions:
I think a dome was fine - what is the difference between dome/turret? What is better ?
I was looking at DS-2CD2355-I - how is that compared to DS-2CD2155F-IS ?
How much extra compression does the H.265 give compared to h.264 ?
Any other good cameras I can get from aliexpress for around 100 usd ?

Hope you can help a beginner

Thanks

At the moment there is definately a shake up at Ali on cracking down Hikvision multi as they have done in the past so I would bet they will be back again.

If you could find the 3mp they are better at night and in approx. 30 seconds you will hear Dahua Vari focal @ $170 the choice is yours. Just stick with a one or the other if you ever go NVR route makes all the functions work.
