Hi all,
So my IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M 2.8mm from @EMPIRETECANDY is due for replacement many years of service. Now i am wondering what to replace it with?
I am not sure if i should go another dual lens or two seperate cameras? I really want good night vision detection.
At the moment the IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M 2.8mm covers a side entry was (Rt Side) and a Laundry entry/backyard (Laundry) and it is mounted on the eaves.
I only have one Cat6 cable running to this point but could run another cable or do a POE splitter.
The Rt Side is very tight whereas the Laundry/Backyard is wider. (pics below from current feed)

Would be grateful for peoples thoughts.

Cheers

The dual lens looks like very good for this place, but those cams nightivison not too strong. Replace with 2 cams cost will be bit higher. But can use a cheap camera watch the RTSIDE and a IPC-T54IR-ZE for the laundry
If it's working good, i think can go on use it.
 
Why not turn the RT side sideways and get 2x the usable area?

Thanks Andy, appreciate the help.
Happy to go with 2 separate cams so a bit extra is fine if it performs better.

Quick context on the two spots so you can point me right:
RtSide (side passage): it's up on the eave looking straight down a narrow passage between the house and the fence — I can't move or lower it, and it's dark down there. What's the cheap cam you'd use here? Couldn't see the model in your link.
Laundry: needs to cover the laundry door up and the back yard behind it, so the varifocal T54IR-ZE makes sense to me for the framing.

One thing I wanted to check with you — I'd been looking at the smart dual-light / full-colour ones (Color4M-T, Color8M-TL) because I'd like colour at night if I can get it, but I don't want a warm light burning all night pulling bugs. For dark spots like mine, would you go IR Starlight (like the T54IR) for cleaner night vision, or the dual-light ones that only fire the warm light on a detection?

Cheers
 
Yes, use the 4M-T , better nightvision than the 4K model. The led light can be triggered via IVS no problem.
Cheap camera use a IPC-T24IR-AS 2.8mm The lens can do adjust down some via adjust the ball part of the camera.

Thanks @EMPIRETECANDY , that all makes sense

One more if you don't mind. I'm also replacing my front camera. It's currently an IPC-HDW5231R-Z which has served me really well, but it's only 2MP and I'd like more detail.
The view is my driveway plus the street — about 20m out to the kerb. It's my most important camera. No plate reading needed, I just want to see people clearly.
What I'm after:
  • 8MP
  • Best colour at night I can get
  • But not a white light burning all night — I don't want bugs and spider webs on the lens.
I've been looking at the IPC-Color8M-TL and the IPC-T58PRO-ZE. The PRO looks better on paper — 50m warm light vs 30m, and it's varifocal like my 5231 so I keep the framing flexibility but it's about $70 more. Is that worth it for a 20m scene, or would you point me at something else?

Yes, you use the IPC-T58PRO-ZE is better than that 8M-TL, It't motorized lens and more AI functions. No problem for the light, it has deterrence function.
