Panoramic ultrawide POE cam recommendation

[opens]

Hi,

I currently designing a new setup with blue iris and I'm currently thinking an Amcrest UltraHD 4K AI outdoor turret (IP8M-TD2685EW-AI) at the front door, two Amcrest ProHD Outdoor turrets (IP5M-T1179EW-28MM) at the access points down either side of the house. Then at the back (yard) I was thinking at a panoramic type camera to try and capture the full width would be ideal. I've noticed that Annke has a reasonably priced FCD600 - Panoramic Outdoor PoE 180° Ultra Wide dual lens (AN-I51DX0104-V1). However, I'm not sure of the security and reputation of Annke cameras and whether it will be a significant step away from my 'Amcrest' setup.

Does anyone have any views on Annke or alternative suggestions to fit the panoramic/ultrawide requirement? Or any comments on the rest of my setup?

Thank you!

Annke is Hikvision OEM so no concerns there and there is a thread here on it:

Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

Just thought I’d get some feedback here before buying this it seems like a good deal? Thanks for your time https://www.newegg.com/p/2P0-0043-00098?item=9SIA7EXJFN7214&cm_sp=SP-_-1295243-_-0%2B-_-5-_-9SIA7EXJFN7214-_--_--_-1

Amcrest is Dahua OEM and Dahua has a similar 180 degree if you wanted to stay with the same family of cameras.
