Do yourself a favour mate and switch to Tvi. You are wasting approx 60% of your $ using IP.Not been on here for a while, so just chiming in to see if anyone has found a good turret/dome in Hikvision running at 4K and what the night time footage is like?
Anyone recommend a 4k turret?
TVI is inferior to IP....Telling someone to install TVI on 2018 is malpractice. Stop with this nonsense....you dont even know what the OP's setup is...it would likely cost more to "switch to tvi"....TVI is acceptable to retrofit old installations and specifically when running new cable is cost prohibitive....its is not an optimal choice.Do yourself a favour mate and switch to Tvi. You are wasting approx 60% of your $ using IP.

What you "require" is not what others want or need....Not in my opinion. I only require a 1080p system Tvi is perfect for me. I would gain nothing from IP.
I understand why you promote IP as you need to keep the traffic up on this(your) site to attract advertising/revenue.
I second the opinion on the 2335 for night capture. It is all a trade off. I guess you could mount a 4K and a low light side by side and switch between the two for day and night but since that isn’t practical you are better off picking specific cameras based upon the most urgent need at that particular location. For instance some of mine are more critical that they have the ability to produce a good picture in low light. The day light picture on the 2335 isn’t bad but it isn’t 4K either. Again it is a trade off but if you “need” low light you will be disappointed with 4K.DS-2CD2385FWD-I
The DS-2CD2335FW-I is what I use for better night capture.
I'd look for a LUX in the .008 range. I haven't seen a consumer-priced camera with more than 3MP that has a LUX in that range...What do you look at to determine if it's low light or not?
8294400 pixels (8.29 million, 'mega') 3840x2160, the 3840 being the 4K, otherwise known as 'ultra-hd'.People are quoting 8mp cameras here. I was under the (possibly incorrect) impression, 12mp was 4k?
