Hello everyone,
I am writing from Hungary and I am planning a Dahua-based CCTV system for a detached family house. I would appreciate your opinions and recommendations before purchasing.
The goal is to monitor all doors, windows, pedestrian entrance and vehicle gate.
Environment:
  • The front gate and pedestrian entrance have public street lighting nearby.
  • The backyard and garden side have no permanent lighting.
  • There are a few motion-activated lights, but they provide only limited illumination.
Planned equipment:
  • NVR: Dahua NVR4216-EI or Dahua NVR5216-EI
  • PoE Switch: Dahua CS4010-8ET-110
  • Storage: 1 × WD Purple 4TB
  • Cameras:
    • 1 × IPC-HDW2449T-ZS-IL-27135 (motorized varifocal, intended for the main pedestrian entrance)
    • 6 × IPC-HDW2449T-S-LED-0280B-PRO
      or
    • 6 × IPC-HDW2449TM-S-IL-0280B
My main question is about the camera choice:
Would you choose the Full Color LED version (2449T-S-LED-PRO) or the Smart Dual Light version (2449TM-S-IL) for a residential installation with limited backyard lighting?

Do you see any weak points in this design?
Would you replace any component and, if so, why?

Thank you for your advice and real-world experience.
