I wish to start off letting everyone know right away that I am an idiot when it comes to the different components in these types of cameras. I am a highly technical person with vast knowledge of computers, networks, servers, OSes, and mobile devices and now I'm learning about CCTV cameras because I have no choice. I have replaced a gentlemen who mad a lot of mistakes and now I have been tasked with cleanup. There are roughly 30 cameras of varying brands. Lets get to the meat of it then.
The owner has asked meto come up with a sub $150 solution for a coverage problem in 2 areas. Most of the cameras are Foscam R2's indoors and the rest are outdoor domed cameras of varying brands. After months of work, all the cameras are now hard wired in to gigabit cisco switches on their own vlan and each switch is LAGed with 4 cat6 cables each. I built a new system for blueiris to run on and after optimum settings in blueiris everything is smooth, fast, and stable.
The 2 areas needing coverage are outdoors but the standard field of view on most cameras isnt wide enough. The owner is in love with the foscam brand as they have been good for the business so far. I was looking at the FI9961EP as the starting point but I was wondering if the lens could be swapped out for a 120 degree or greater lens. Any assistance would be appreciated.
