Very cheap varifocal cam 2.8-12mm 2MP

For $42 looks like a bargain. It's a manual zoom and uses the same sensor as Huisun v1, so IQ should be equivalent. Sent a message to the seller for some UI screenshots. I am looking for indoor use.

Indoor use IMX222 is fine without IR. I played about with one before deciding where it should live. I paid a lot more than 42usd!

Without IR? Hm, same thing saves $10

For indoor use I think I'd prefer IR even if the lights are supposed to be on all day and night in case someone shut them off or the power went out. Cams would probably be on battery backup for at least a while.
