What next camera should I get?

Recommended Posts

So I've installed 4 so far, I have another one coming in, and I need one more soon before the weather gets too cold to put my last camera up. That's it for now, I'll put a few more in spring next year, maybe 2-3.

 

I have so far:

 

Dahua mini dome 3200CN or whatever

Vivotek fd8134v

ACTi kcm-7111 (best one so far out of all)

Eyeonet/whatever IP5022 - not sure what real brand is this, maybe old dahua? (one with crappy IR if pointed extreme angle)

 

I have another 7111 coming in.

 

I need 1 more to face the gate coming into my backyard, wide angle again, at least 90 degree+ view, prefer no built in LED, but need night mode, not necessarily IR filter.

 

Problem is, I'm at my limit, I can't really buy another ACTi, too expensive, but I don't want to buy another Dahua mini dome, it's hard to mount that thing and I don't want to frustrate myself again mounting it under my soffit, i rather get a real dome to have the flexible viewing angles so I can mount to wall...

 

The only real choice around $300 is the vivotek fd8134v, but the angle sucks, 56 degrees is not enough, but I don't really want to mess around ordering lenses to retrofit, if there's a sure lens someone tried and works and gives 90 degree horizontal angle, I'll buy it, but I don't have time to look around and order 50 lenses from China or whereever.

 

Can someone please help me, or I really have to either get the mini-dome or spend another $600 for ACTi or some sort
