As the tilt says, what is the best Dahua 2MP Starlight to buy in 2022?
It's going outdoors, there will be a little street lighting, I think 2.8mm will suit beter than 3/4/6mm - I'll be using BI and Deepstack so have no need for cam AI/IVS etc - providing the nighvision and price is roughly on par with 2MP versions, I might goto 4MP but really have no need for the extra MP - the cams will be covering an area from mount point on the house ~8' high to garden wall/fence about ~10' to 20' away so I think fix lense is also ok with 2.8mm.
I currently run two IPC-T5442T-ZE and two IPC-HDW5231R-ZE - I love both of these but IPC-T5442T-ZE is overkill for this project and I need to keep costs down, IPC-HDW5231R-ZE is now fairly old now and I guess there are better/cheeper options.
I plan to buy from Andy as I have done before, but I'm not set in stone on Dahua or Andy if there are cheaper options out there for roughly the same quality as the Dahua Starlights.
