noob Q regarding these two cameras

[dajoshbreezy 0]

Which of these two cameras offer the best clarity for day/night

I can't seem to find a thorough review. Ideally I would like to have

the one that offers the best clarity for outdoors at night.

 

Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS vs DS-2CD2232-I5

 

Thanks

biggest difference I see is that DS-2CD2132F-IS has a 2.8mm lens and DS-2CD2232-I5 has a 4mm lens. The 2.8mm is going to give you a wider angle of view. 4mm will be a bit narrower but will be better detail. Also the 4mm bullet camera has a 50meter IR range whereas 2.8mm dome camera has 30 meter range. I dont know that either cameras will have a "better" picture, its just about how the specs fit in your application.

Please stop providing incorrect information.

The 2132 is available in BOTH 2.8 and 4mm lenses. Though the 2332 turret or the new 2mp or 4mp turret style cameras are better options than the dome.

The 2232 i5 bullet does have stronger IR.
