Recommendtion on Dome Camera

[Jamson]

Hello, I am looking at getting another dome camera possibly. I currently have a DS-2CD2532F-IS and I like the small form factor of it as it seems to hide nicely under the soffit. The only issue I have is the nightime is not good at all, so I was wondering what would be like that camera maybe in a dahua brand as this seems to be popular or whatever else someone would like to recommend. I also want to get the new
IPC-HDW5231R-Z as that one looks nice but still would like to get a dome camera as well. Thanks

Anybody have any thoughts, or should I stay away from domes?

stay away...look at a turret model...the starlight dahua is as great choice.

Thanks, I do want to get a few of those. I just like the low profile of the mini domes.

The thread for the starlight dahua if you're interested. Great footage, pictures and discussion.

Those mini domes eally are inside cameras, not outdoor. Take a look at the all white turrets for outdoor use.

I will stay away from them and go with a turret.
