    Help with camera choices AND placement

    Thanks Matt! I was looking at them but your recommendation of the varifocal lenses made sense. And just my luck Nelly's only offers varifocal in bullets or vandal domes,...none in turrets! :banghead:

    Help with camera choices AND placement

    Yeah but it seems they do not offer the full line of up to date Hikvision cameras (I may be nit picking but I really don't want to regret any decisions!)

    Help with camera choices AND placement
