hello, new to ip cams. With recommendation from co-workers bought 2 amcrest 3MP poe bullet cams and a amcrest NV4108 nvr to surveill my home. Been running the system for 1 month and am pretty happy with system so far. Planning on adding 2 more of the same cams to the system.

IIRC, Amcrest cameras are Dahua cameras that have been rebranded.

If you need something that does really really well in low-light, check out the Starlight series of cameras in the Dahua forum. There should be a sticky post at the top that has the different models mentioned. The IPC-HDW5231R-Z turret is pretty popular. It's varifocal (so you can zoom it in/out to whatever view works perfectly for you) and it's great in low light. It has its own review thread that's pretty long, but has a lot of uploaded pictures and videos.

Welcome to the forums. Lots of great people and good information here!
