Hi all
I have been using HFW4431R-Z 2.8-12mm varifocal facing the road and that has worked great for me for the last 7 years
Just noticed today that it must have gotten water into it recently - image is blurry in parts etc
I will take it apart to check, but if water has been in for some time and I just noticed it, it may have had its toll on electronics
Anyway, I thought I will start looking for a replacement
Has there been much progress in the last 7+ years?
Looking for a varifocal with at least 12mm, as I am currently utilising at its max zoom. IR needs to be powerfully enough to light up the car plates at night (have it on night mode just for plate capture)
Looking for a budget side one - only plates at night and general street activity during the day as I have another camera pointing at the road at 90 degree to this one
12mm zoom works OK for me, but 15mm would probably be even nicer =)
