Go for it, they should be good.I'm interested in the 2MP HIK 120 WDR cams.

I am planning to get couple of domes, but I see that 2MP & 4MP domes have almost the same price. Is there any benefit of 2MP at night time even though sensor, sensitivity specs appear to be the same?
I haven't met too many homeowners that want a box camera mounted to their house due to the size of the enclosure.A good low light cam for the money is the DS-2CD4026FWD (2mp), it’s a box cam so you will have to add a lens and an enclosure. It has RS485 so it can be used on a pan/tilt mount.
I have a DS-2CD4024F box cam that does well at night but not nearly as good as the 26. The advantage of a box cam is that you can add a good quality lens that will help with both low light and picture quality.

Ali has them from $310 to $380
Just remember with these cams that the wider you go with the lense, the more image detail you lose. I would try the 2MP 120db varifocal bullet model CMIP9723W-S. That way you can dial the lense in to your exact liking.I'm trying to make a decision on which cam to get for this position. The current cam is Foscam F1983P 1280x960 that I bought before I knew any better. I was going to order the CMIP1142W-28 next week from milk which is 4.1MP and WDR120. Would I be better off getting the CMIP1122W / CMIP1122W-28 which is 2.1MP and WDR120? I would like better focus at the curb and a wider field. Thanks
+1 CMIP1142W-28 from milk and I'd try it in day-mode during night, as you seem to have alot of ambient light.I'm trying to make a decision on which cam to get for this position.

1) WD is True WDR
2) Not that I know of. They do have Digital WDR but I feel this means much more noise in the image
3) It's not flickering, just on motion detection it will go bright as if the white balance is being recalibrated. It does mean you can see number plates at night
I'm happy to test it out on my ones... official or not!There is an issue on 4MP Hik cameras when connected to a Hik NVR. Cameras from time to time goes fully bright for a seconds, then goes back to normal (it seems the camera to fully open its iris). This happens when the NVR synchronizes its parameters with the camera. There is a firmware for 4MP cams which solves that issue, if someone is interested I can upload it somewhere. Hikvision will include that fix in the next official FW release.

So running the 4mp on a BI server and lettng BI do the motion detection is not a problem? Forgetting the issue, do HIkvision cameras work better on Hik NVR or will work equally well on BI server?
