What camera should I buy if I'm a blue iris?

If you go Blue Iris I recommend Dahua IPC-T5442TM-AS ($150) for critical areas that need the best light sensitivity. You can get away with IPC-T2431TM-AS-S2 ($50) if there is a garage or streetlight in the area. Something like a HikVision DS-2CD2387G2-L (U) ($200) if you want 4K. Most 4K cameras perform poorly at night. ...
