Just learning about this stuff,Please bear with me. Would both of these cameras do the same for watching a driveway? Seems like the specs are the same.

Amcrest ProHD Outdoor 4 Megapixel POE Bullet IP Security Camera - IP67 Weatherproof, 4MP (2688 TVL), IP4M-1026E (Black)
Dome Camera vs Bullet camera
Re: Dome Camera vs Bullet camera
Well I am not 100% sure of what would be better. It is really up to the Installed area and in the end Owner Preference if you look at the 2 cameras they are going to offer some of alot of the same features.
However the DOME will give you Audio in and Out. So if that is something that your looking to add in the Future that is a good thing.... Lets you get he MIC and speaker closer to the user area rather then 25 feet in the air....
Then with the Bullet they do have the ability to change the way the Image is displayed. Even though it does give you a good ability to move it around and get it where you want it facing you do have the ability in the camera to change say form 0 90 180 and 270 degree rotation if needed even Flip...
In the end it will come down to what you want. Most times IR reflections can be an issue however in most cases when I have had that issue it wasn't the reflection of the Dome to the Lens it was outside the dome back... Also could be issue if you have a lot of bugs. However with Bugs it will affect all types of cameras that offer IR Even with my older Speed Dome with 2 mounted IR Blasters one on each side of the dome flying bugs just had to play in the area lol...
