Is there comparable with Hikvision for about same price/performance?

It's hard to tell but I'm guessing from the pictures it's about 10m (33 feet) to the tree. based on the claims for the 6mm, it would seem to be a good fit. The best option is of course varifcoal but as one has yet to appear, I would think the 6mm seems a good bet.
Someone on the forum who prefers Hikvision to Dahua may be able to answer this for you. I am only aware of the Dahua model given, sorry.

Looks like the camera will show up today. Fast shipping by Andy.
I will post up some pictures once I get the camera mounted. I will be moving it a couple of feet for a better angle. The camera it is replacing is a Hikvision 2MP 8-32mm varifocal. It is not a bad camera and is the last one of it type that I have not upgraded until now.Which camera did you get Parley ?Looks like the camera will show up today. Fast shipping by Andy.

Won't get to install it this week as me and the wife have Covid-19 and feel like poop.

First thoughts are that I need more magnification for this location. I was going to post a snapshot but for some reason that is not working. I am waiting to see how the night time video is. I have left the settings pretty much as they come from Hikvision.Looks like the camera will show up today. Fast shipping by Andy.
Sorry to hear that, man. I hope you both feel better soon.

Ok, I have downloaded a short video. I am very impressed with the night time quality of this camera. It is a lot darker out than this video indicates. By the way the settings are pretty much out of the box. I will fine tune the settings over the coming week.

Forget the price, Unfortunately Dahua have nothing close to the performance of these. YET.

A lot of blurr on that car though, hopefully a shorter shutter speed will help. Certainly clear and good detail, shows the benefit of 4K
I've set my exposure time to 1/100 but now at night when someone passes by the image is 'ghosted', you can see through them I haven't had time to play with the other settings, some say it has to do with the digital noise reduction, default it's on 50 but when I lower it, I get noise And that's not a solution either.

Can you provide images of that ghosting and where did you get your camera? A dealer in Belgium?I've set my exposure time to 1/100 but now at night when someone passes by the image is 'ghosted', you can see through them
I installed 2x 2t87g2 so same as the 2087g2 but the led's are more powerful and camera is larger. Got them from my Hikivision distributor in Belgium. Will try to upload images of the ghosting. I think it's the struggle to find a good match between the amount of blur (at night) that's acceptable and the exposure time.
