The pictures in that thread look encouraging
My distance would be ~70-90ft. The front yard has only grass, a city's utilities pole in the corner, and a city tree. Can't legally mount anything to either.
There's also onstreet parking, so can't mount it in some low decoy box closer to the street as it's view would be impeded.
So a higher corner of the house would be it, right under/above the
SD49225XA-HNR PTZ that I plan installing there as well. Hopefully there's no issues with competing IR lights.
Bonus Question:
I was looking at maybe either a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E or IPC-B5442E-Z4E as I sadly can't find any turrets with a high enough zoom.
Would you go for the 2MP 1/1.8 or 4MP 1/2.8? I could get both to a similar ppf based on the ipvm design tool thanks to the 2MP's higher zoom. Are there other criteria that would sway you towards either? They cost the same.
