    camera for a lighted front door

    even a $120 low profile dahua like the HDBW-4231F-AS seems like a nice option. was really looking for agreement that the 5231 seemed like wasted talent at a lighted front door

    4mp with IR Cannon vs 2mp starlight ??? (nayr)

    Seems like I will be going exclusively with Dahua cameras... a few 5231's, some mini PTZ's and a couple of those new nanny wifi PTZ's to move around the home as needed. So my question is, what is your opinion as to the best user experience on the mobile app for my setup... Blue Iris or Dahua...

    My question was specific to a lighted overhang at the front door. The night vision will never turn on. The infrared lamps will never turn on. The Awesomeness of the starlight will never turn on. (see tygunn's picture and how it is still a color image) So again my question remains... what is...
