Pros & Cons
Pros
This camera is a dahua ipc-hdw5442tm-as, rebranded for sale here. It is close to dahua/empire tech 2mp. Use the guidance at ipcamtalk to help set the cameras up. This is my main overview camera with the ir completely disabled out in the country.
This camera completely blows the lorex cameras out of the water. The only negative is the design of the tabs that the camera sits in for tilt. It takes some patience or tape on back of camera to resolve.
Cons
