Which one from these 2 bullet cameras is better?

I am not seeing a great difference in specs in these 2 Hikvision bullets. It seems the first one doesnt have the horizontal pan axis on the mount?

Apart from that, which one is better?

Of the two links, one is for the entire catalog, so I can't compare. Please check the link. I'd like to know how are you going to buy these, a local retailer, online or what?

They both have a lot of the same features apart from the IR distance. The EXIR on Hikvision cameras provides a lot of illumination in low light environments. I have used both cameras and they are both good cameras. It all comes down to if you want a smaller, lower profile camera or a giant camera. The DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 camera is pretty big.

 

What are you using to record these cameras?
