4K-X is out of the price range, I'm looking for sub $150 cameras. Will the ipc-hdw5442tm-as-led disappoint? Should I consider something different? Parking lot is well lit and small, two cameras on the front and 3 on the side. I'm also considering cheaper cameras inside so I could spring for the 4K-X outside.

HI

Andy will have a big sale soon ... and currently has some models up on prime day .. so do check out what he has available.
If you are on a budget, evaluate what you need / want to accomplish in terms of job the cameras will do and try to find a balance of cost / effectiveness.
One strategy is focus on choke points with better cameras, and other areas go with more affordable cameras.
Example get a good low light color camera for choke points, and smaller sensor models ( typically more affordable ) for other areas .. perhaps even run the cheaper cameras in IR mode at night ..
Do check out the DORI section in the
cliff notes to help get an idea of how you may want to tackle this.
