- Is it really 8MP?
- The specs are inconsistent. The name says 8MP, but the listed video resolution is 1920x1080, which is about 2MP. Confirm the sensor resolution with the seller before you buy.
- Does it need a recorder?
- No. It records to a microSD card and streams over the network. A PoE NVR is optional if you want centralized storage.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- No. It is listed as indoor use only and has no weather rating. Put it under cover or inside.
- How is it powered?
- Over PoE through the RJ45 port, so one Ethernet cable carries both power and data. You need a PoE switch or injector.
- Does it work over Wi-Fi?
- No. It is a wired LAN camera only, so plan a cable run to where you mount it.
- What does WDR do?
- Wide dynamic range balances bright and dark areas in one scene, which helps when a window or doorway blows out the exposure.
