Wife-pleasing IP PoE indoor camera 2018?

[Peekonu]

I'm looking for an IP, PoE, indoor, Dahua NVR compatible camera that looks great. I seem to remember seeing something really sleek and nearly flat, but can't seem to find it now. One location is for a ceiling mount, and one is wall mount.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Look in the WiKi at the top of the page and read the Cliff Notes. I think you mean the wedge, whose model number escapes me right now.

It's the Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-AS 2MP Starlight IR Mini Dome, lovingly known as "the wedge".

Thanks. I was thinking something that looks like these flat types: https://www.amazon.com/ANNKE-Impressive-Detection-Progressive-connection/dp/B01EL3Y1YM/

Is there anything like that which can play nice with Dahua cameras and the Dahua NVR?

Maybe the IPC-C35?

That Annke is actually a rebranded Hikivision. I have one and it does work well, but I wouldn't exactly call it "esthetically pleasing" in the WAF (wife acceptance factor) department.

Is the Annke / Hikvision wall-mountable without sticking out? Does it work with Dahua NVRs?

The IPC-C35 isn't bad, but I want PoE, not wifi.

My ideal esthetic is something like a flush-mounted glass break sensor. Like this photo (which is not a camera).

The Annke/Hiikivision sticks out about four inches, three at least, in a wall mount scenario. Like I said, not really very aesthetic. I think its designed more for a stand mount situation, like sitting on a shelf but then you run into azimuth adjustment limitations. Ceiling mount might work better in that case. In wall mount it's going to stick out a fair amount.
