    I have no problem with SD card reliability as others have said I have one in my car cam for a few years (getting very hot some days) and it works fine So what bullet or turret cams with SD card do you guys recommend?

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS - Buy Log / Review

    So what is so great about the starlight models? I only really want the cameras for daytime when at work and as there are no passing pedestrians and my driveway is illuminated by a 10w flood with separate PIR do I really need better night vision? and the bullet which I may relegate to the back...
