Dahua 8MP IPC-HDBW5831E-Z5E vs. 2MP IPC-HDBW5231E-Z5E

[Tae]

Hi,

The main focus of the cam will be around 100 ft. away during daytime. Night vision is not important.

Will I be able to see more details with the 8MP or should I just go with the 2MP starlight that is highly recommended here?

Will the new Z5E versions be better than the Z5 cams? I want to order as soon as possible and I am not sure if it is worth to wait for the Z5Es.

Thanks,
Tae

FYI: Andy has said the suffixes "E" versions of the IPC-HDW5231IR-Z cameras will require a proprietary Dahua "E" version NVR or switch, so just beware in case that also applies to these cameras.

If you only need it for day time viewing I would go for the 8MP to get more details.

i would opt for the 8mp as well. why not chose the non-dome version IPC-HDW5830R-Z5 (bullet)?

The model mainly for long distance POE power supply, so if just home using, no need to buy the model without E. IPC-HDW5231R-ZE this one is a new model with a new lens, but have to test it out firstly.

So you don't need a specific ePOE switch? They'll work just fine with a regular POE switch but of course without the long distance benefits of ePOE?

According to the spec sheet, yes it will also work with 12dc adapter or standard POE 802.3Af.

Awesome. Thanks.

I wonder how they compares at night. Higher resolution vs higher light sensor
