do not sell or get rid of your 5231's. They still can serve a purpose as they were king of the hill a couple years back. Still fantastic for night time duty. I upgraded my critical front facing cameras to the 5442's and repurposed the 5231's to sides and backyard.
The 5442 series of cameras by Dahua is the current "king of the hill". They are 4MP and capable of color with some ambient light at night. The 2231 series is a less expensive alternative in 2MP and does not have audio capabilities, no built in microphone, but is easier on the budget. The 3241T-ZAS has similar specs as the 2231 and has audio. There are also cameras available from the IPCT Store right here on the forum and from Nelly's Security who has a thread in the vendors section.

Thanks folks for all of the tips. I cant really mount them lower as they are in the eaves and I dont want to run wires down the side of my home. But it sounds like there is a good bit of tweaking that I can do, most of which I didnt even know about.
I don't blame you for not wanting to run wires down the brickwork. You could keep that cam right there and use it as an overview cam. I have a couple of those and they have been very helpful.
So maybe trying to find a way to mount one on a lower eve, like in this position?
