A few days ago I received an order of DS-2CD2385FWD-i Turret cameras however bullet cameras would better suit the location of two of the areas. I have been looking around at the different models and I'm having difficulty finding out the difference between DS-2CD2083G0-i and DS-2CD2085FWD-i. I'm not sure if the 2083 is an upgraded version or what differences there are as they both seem to have all the same specs.

Here is a link to the model in reference.

Bullets do tend to attract more spiders, but they have a 50 and 80 meter range vs a 30 meter range for the turret. So it depends on what your particular application requires.

At my house bullet cameras work out just fine. The spiders are a minimal problem. However I live in Southern California.

Are you speaking of IR range? If so, looking at the specs for all the cam models the OP mentioned, I see all three have an IR range of 30 meters.
If that is insufficient, 1 or more strategically located and properly sized IR illuminators (not my link) could solve that.

Yes I was taking IR range. I avoid separate IR since wife wants minimal hardware.

I understand your need for compliance with WAF (happy wife, happy life) but was trying to offer the OP options in case he was unaware of such.
