Any comments (or maybe better alternatives) for IPC-HDW2441T-ZS

That really isn't a fair representation image of the camera as it is in close quarters and a ton of IR bounce is coming off the boat cover.

It will respond completely different if it were in an open area without IR bounce off of close objects.

I generally agree with JPMedia summary of the zones and what you would capture.

I have a 4MP on the 1/2.8" and I have a decent amount of light and some IR blasters and it won't reach 200 feet, barely 100 feet.

Here is the 4MP on the 1/2.8" sensor. That box is 52 feet away and you can see how dark the rest of the image is. It drops off fast. Shutter is 1/60.

This camera shows you how much light and IR I have in that area with a default shutter.

In my case, I have no IR bounce from a close object that greatly helps illuminate the area.


It has also been requested several times, what is your use case/goal for the camera location - that can greatly impact the camera choice. Detect and Observe is one camera as it can run on default/auto while Recognize/Observe is another as it will run faster shutters.

By the way, the images don't show up for me

There is a small office complex across the street (in these images it's to the upper-right and not visible from this camera). For some time, perhaps more than a year, for a few nights a week a car leaves this parking lot at some wee hour of the morning. The headlights shine across to my lot when it's leaving, and that triggers the detection in this camera. The captured video shows the headlights through the hedge, I can see it creep slowly out of the that lot and turn either left or right. I want to set up a temporary camera (at a different location) that would be able to see across the street into that lot and give me some idea if this is a cop car or civillian car, and whether or not it entered the lot a few minutes before it leaves or a few hours (I never see it enter the lot but then again it's headlights would be facing away from me so I wouldn't see that). I could configure a camera looking at that lot to be able to trigger on any car entering or leaving. I'd only be interested in maybe 11 pm to 4 am. Very quiet around here generally at that time.

Is it possible to get a daytime shot from this camera? It would sure help to orient others and give a better overall of the scene
 
Here is a photoshopped version of your resized image with BLC on with the gamma cranked way up. Yeah, you can see more, but the image is getting really noisy as the histogram is being stretched out into a wider range. You'll have tons of gaps in the shadows which will produce a lot of noise. It will be a LOT worse with moving objects.

I'd say you need a larger sensor and more light to get usable images for identification or even recognition purposes

Its mostly about:
A) Having enough light
B) running a fast enough shutter

2MP Dahua Analog cameras.

The 5442 will give you better light pickup and allow you to run a faster shutter
