HI!
I'm looking to buy my first (3) cameras and have been recommended Hikvision and am getting PoE put in. I'm putting them in the Soffit so will get turret or dome (without glass)
I've been looking at the Dark Fighter (not 'powered by') and the ColorVu and would like to use all the smart new features with an NVR
I was going to go straight for the ColorVu but for various reasons I am not allowed to have the white light enabled.
I was wondering whether even with it disabled, would something like a 4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LU be better than e.g. an 8K DS-2CD2386G2-IU, or does it completely depend on the amount of ambient light (I've seen this video but it has a fair amount of light source)? I also don't want to pay massive amounts of money where it isn't really required.
I'm basically asking what would you experts recommend to me in terms of poe camera (both ColorVue and DarkFighter) and also NVR? I have been told to allow for 1tb per camera for event-based recording?
Many thanks for your help in advance!
