You say "Note that this is the highest resolution WDR camera in the Honeywell line (no 1080p WDR)", but you make no mention of what the camera resolution is before that.

It's on the fourth line - "their high end positioned HCW1F, a 720p HD WDR ONVIF camera"

I enjoyed the post "Test you Knowledge" quiz after reading the article. It helped reinforce my comprehension (or lack of) of the information I just read. Please continue to add this feature in future post!

thank you
