Hello. I am building a home camera system. I am using Blue Iris and PoE. I live in Florida so not sure how dome cameras are functioning in humid weather.

What do you think about those two cameras:

- LaView 1080P Bullet - LV-PB932F4
- LaView 1080P Dome - LV-PD50208

Btw, what are your thoughts about those:

I bought one of the RLC-410 cams due to the low price, I wanted to give it a try. Compared to my HikVision and Dahua cams, it is the most unreliable cam I have. I needs to be rebooted at least 1-2 times a week. It has issues with occasional pixelation of the bottom 3rd of the video. I would not recommend them.
 
As noted Reolink cameras are not compatible with blue iris despite false claims. The reason is there is no iframe interval setting in the firmware that results in the pixelation mentioned. They are spam forums with false posts praising their own cameras. They lie to their customers.
Laview are rebranded hikvision however they dont sell the low light models. Additionally that bullet format with the IR around the lens will cause spider web issues at night. Avoid domes, you will suffer IR reflection. Start by reading the cliff notes.
