2. What lens should I choose for wide-area monitoring like a parking lot?
For wide-area coverage, the 2.8 mm lens variant gives the broadest field of view; narrower lenses (6 mm/8 mm) are better for longer-range or focused monitoring.
3. Will the video quality hold up in the sun or at dusk when there’s strong backlighting?
Yes — thanks to the true 120 dB WDR capability, this camera manages strong contrast lighting well, maintaining visibility in bright and dark areas simultaneously.
4. How much storage can I save using the H.265+ compression?
H.265+ and H.264+ compression formats help reduce storage and bandwidth compared to older codecs, particularly useful when using multiple cameras or higher resolutions.
5. Is this model still current and supported?
