Hi Friends!
I want to build a Security Setup with approx. 10-11 outdoor Cameras.
I want to go witz approx 5MP ecause i think 4k is a bit too much in terms of price and the picture quality might suffer in low light because of the smaller pixels at the same chip size.
I want a good low light too.
I was looking on the Rheolink 810A, but i saw some bad things in terms of Connecting with BlueIris.
Maybe 1-2 of the 11 Cams would be ptz, the rest would be bullet-style preferred.
The cams shold be less than 100 usd too.
What would be your Pick and why?
Thanks a lot!
Best Wishes from Austria!
Thomas

These are slightly out of your budget at about $130 and only 2mp but I love these.
As of 6 months ago these were one of the hobbyist favorites. Andy sells them direct from Hong Kong and shipping is super fast. Even faster than some domestic. I usually get them from him in two or three business days. He's a reliable seller.

- Optical vari-focal to get just the zoom level that you desire for any scene
- Turrets are better than bullets according to those with lots of experience
The 2mp is way more than acceptable for me. Way more.
This is a clip from the previous generation 2mp during the day

Thanks for your reply!
2MP is for me too less. And the price is high too. Of cause with 10+ cams is it a bit pricy...
Night video is for mee important too.
Thx
Thomas

Thomas,
The IPC-T3241T-ZAS that HeneryH is recommending is a great low cost camera and will outperform most 4K in night mode.

The IPC-T3241T-ZAS costs in my area 160 EUR (approx 180 usd). That is far too much for me.
But night vision is beautiful.

On the 2MP ones, I think the ZAS adds audio to the ZS
