which Ip camera to pick?

[blarf]

Hey guys,

Quick question:

Would you reccommend the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE or the IPC-HDW5231R-Z for outdoor?

I was reading a little bit about them, I see the cosmetic difference, the ePOE (which i won't utilize).
Also except the slightly bigger FOV and the 5x zoom, any other differences?

would you still recommend the z? or go with the ze?


Sorry if it's already been asked.

Thanks,

Blarf

Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 800 meter capable ePOE @looney2ns did a direct comparison of the two cameras.

Seems the differences are marginal and for most it comes down to the cosmetic appearance. I personally like the 5231-Z as it blends into the white trim on the exterior of my house. The all black face of the ZE would definitely pop out against white trim and be much more noticeable.
