Hi all.
We just had a new house built and am looking to step up to 4k POE IP cameras for this place.
Anyone have recommendations? Search returns nothing for 4k...

Thank you guys for replying. I assume 4k (8MP+) would produce a better image than typical 1080 (2-4MP) ip cameras. I have lots to read and understand!

Yes in general - do note that MP in and of itself is only one measure.

For example:
If you want a superior night time image, the way to go currently is dahua starlight cameras which are 2MP ( 1080p ).

For a fantastic comparison please see @thomaswde example of a 16MP cell phone camera vs 2MP Starlight Varifocal Turret
Great example of Dahua Starlight 2MP Verifocal Performance in low light
