Wide FOV recommendation?

[rawbar]

Looking to fence mount a Dahua in the corner of my yard but the camera search Dahua offers doesn't have a selection for FOV.
Looking for 2.8mm (90 degree) to 4mm (70 degree) camera with Starlight. Preferably something that can be here by mid next week (though Andy is pretty quick with DHL so that could work too).
I prefer domes or turrets as they tend to blend into the background better.

Would like to keep it under $200.

Any recommendations?

The Dahua IPC-T5442TM-AS has 2.8, 3.6, and 6.0mm lenses. It is a 4MP cam on a 1/1.8" sensor. Great low light color performance. This is a turret. Has great IR performance also. It's about $170. You can get it from Andy, and maybe he has it on his Amazon shop. I always just send him an email.

Don't use a dome outdoors. Any moisture on the dome degrades the image and the UV light over time fogs the plastic.

Here is a test shot of that cam in 2.8mm.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like Andy has it listed on Amazon here, but I'm not sure if there's an issue with buying something branded Loryta vs Dahua?

N/M, found the explanation of Loryta from Andy here:

Loryta Brand on Amazon Shop

Hey guys, This year Amazon's policy will required a registered brand to sell on their online shop ,so we registered this brand as the selling brand, all products are still the dahua oem products. We will make this changes on all new cams/listing from April.24th. Future will paste a Loryta...

These are still Dahua

It is the same cam. When Andy opened his Amazon store front he was selling the Dahua cams but they did not have the Dahua logo. So Amazon would not let him call them Dahua. So he set up his own brand and called it Loryta. That is why he uses the 'T' for turret and the 'B' for bullet instead of the Dahua designation. But they are the same cam.

Good recommendation & pick! I have the 2.8mm (115° Horz, 60° Vert FOV) used for an overview of the front yard. Screen grabs from day & night...
