About to pull trigger on HDW4431C-A when I realized I needed one more consideration

[Redemption]

I went to aliexpress ready to order 4 of the 4431c when I realized, I had to select a lens. For my home, what lens should I get? I understand that the higher the lens the narrower field of view. But not sure, what lens most people purchase. Also based on some posts, I was considering the following DVR https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DHA...Model-with-Onvif-2-4-Support/32302197121.html. Will it work with this camera fine? I will probably purchase another four of these if I like them. I want one PTZ, not certain on which one it will be and one camera to read tags, so probably something with a zoom.



Thanks.

Outdoors dont use the 2.8mm, its night range is less than 15ft.. the 3.6mm is the wide'st youd use outside, and I find the 6mm is very good at most yard distances.. for driveways and stuff do 6mm, doors 3.6mm

zoom is great, the more zoom the more pixels the targets will be, mebe buy 2x 3.6mm and 2x 6mm
