First post, long time lurker.
I'm down to IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E or IPC-B5442E-ZE and was all set to purchase 3 of one of them. I've read the newer 4MP 1/1.8 camera review(s) but found one review where the 2MP 1/2.8 older model, which is also more expensive, worked better for low light license plate detection and capture.
My goal is superior low light performance for outside use.
Just had a vehicle stolen. Got it back in about an hour thanks to Ford's app locating it and fast response from two local police jurisdictions working fast, happy about that. I've been pouting along embarrassingly with whatever latest cloud based cam would offer, knowing they aren't that great, but it's time to build a solid camera solution.
Two story + basement home. The driveway/garage side of the house is almost 3 stories (18-20 feet to overhang).
Thoughts (and thanks!)
