    DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 v DS-2CD2042WD-I

    Was think about buying the 2042 but now thinking of the Exir 2T42. The 2T42 is 15% more expensive. Worth it? Any disadvantages/advantages of both cameras I need to consider? :-)

    Hikvision IP v Hikvision TVi

    I've read that TVi has better night vision than IP POE due to the fact POE does not deliver enough power for the ir's. This true? Am I splitting hairs here?

    Camera Cleaning Method

    I use a Microfibre cloth dipped in water to clean by cameras as i have heard stories of the glass front being scratched on many cameras resulting in "glare back" from the infrared leds. Anyone use a different method or a type of glass cleaner?

    What lens focal length would you choose for this scenario?

    4mm lens should be fine to recognize at 10m.

    Daylight or darkness hours? Are you using additional lighting or relying on the camera's ir's? It is a nightmare if you start to think in detail. I would go for a 4mm lens and hope for the best mate.

    What lens focal length would you choose for this scenario?

    What is the purpose of the camera? Detect, observe, identify or recognize? What resolution camera do you have? What resolution are you going to record at? "What lens do i need" is not a straightforward i'm afraid.

    well i have a 7604 with a 3Mp + a 4Mp camera. How does that work then? Both cameras are recording at their maximum resolution. What happens if i connect four 4Mp cameras to a 7104? It record each camera at 6Mp/4 = 1.5Mp?
