What camera for overview?

[International784]

I need another camera to view my driveway. I’ve got an IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E pointed at a gate where the yellow line is on the picture. What would be a good camera to watch the area in pink? It’s a stretch of about 120’ max. Should I just get another Z12E zoomed out? Or go with a IPC-T5442T-ZE turret?

If it is truly just for OVERVIEW to see what is going on, your options include

5442 series - maybe fixed lens

Or if you have light either the 4K/T or 180 camera.

I wouldn't go with the z12e zoomed out if just for overview.

That turret conceals a little better. It is just for overview but I wasn’t sure if I’d be better off with another z12E for the money. I’ll check out the 4K/T or 180 cameras though i do not have hardly any light there at night.

Yeah if you don't have light then the 4K/T or 180 will be useless as they don't see infrared.
