Camera for the entrance area - 180 degrees the right choice?

[saveCam]

Hello,

I want to install a 180 degree camera at my entrance area. I sketched the situation in a picture.
But I am note sure, if I need a 180 degree camera.
Maybe a normal Turret like a Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H is the better option?

I'm hesitating between Hikvision ColorVu and AcuSense.
I would much prefer the camera with ColorVu. Unfortunately, I don't know if the ColorVu camera is affected much more than the AcuSense version by the light under the camera.
I'm afraid that the camera might be blinded by the light.

The biggest problem is the issue with the junction box, because I need a junction box.
I have seen Youtube videos of turret cameras (G2) being mounted on the DS-1280ZJ-DM21.
Does this box also fit to all Hikvision G2 cameras?

And from your point of view, is a 180 degree camera suitable for my purpose?
Or which camera would you recommend me?

ColorVu and Acusense are simply marketing terms.

ColorVu means the camera cannot see infrared, so if you do not have enough light, then you need a camera that can see infrared and has infrared capabilities.

Acusense is simply Hikvision term for AI motion detection.

The 180 camera is a ColorVu camera with Acusense meaning it can detect the difference between human and vehicle versus just plain motion detection.
