I wouldn't rule out lower resolutions either. It shouldn't be the deciding factor in the same way that a 24mp camera phone isn't any better than a 16mp DSLR camera. There are a lot of other considerations you should make like the chipsets, sensors lens quality. Take note of the lens as the lower the millimetre, the wider the viewing angle but the further away everything appears which doesn't help when it comes to identification. There are also obvious differences with regards to general build quality and reliability. If the camera fails in 6 months it's as good as useless regardless of its 4K resolution. We always recommend Hikvision or Hilook (also made by Hikvision) Hikvision is only available to the trade so you should ask a local installer to quote you. If your thinking of doing it yourself then look at the latter. I would highly recommend you look at the Powered by Darkfighter range as it has exceptionally goo low light performance which in my eyes is more important as most burglaries take place in the hours of darkness. My recommendation for low cost DIY would be this:
HiWatch IPC-B140 4 Megapixel HD Compact IP Bullet Camera
and if having it professionally installed i would start at this:
Hikvision DS-2CD2345FWD-I 4MP IP Low Light Turret Camera
Whatever you do, be wary of buying from unauthorised sources as there will likely be no warranty. |
