Hi All,
I have been lurking here for a while as I started researching security cameras. I am in the process of installing an alarm system so if you are over at cocoon tech you have probably seen my questions.
I have included a few pictures of my first two locations for installation of my cameras. They will be POE and I am planning on setting up a dedicated Blue Iris computer in my basement. Eventually I think I will have 6-8 cameras total. I originally was leaning towards a bullet but the recurring issues with spider webs (and the fact we seem to have a lot of busy spiders) has led me to a turret design. I was looking at the LTS CMIP3042W, 4mm. I included a link but if I recall correctly a forum member sells/is a dealer for the LTS. I had also looked at the CMIP 1142W, 4mm so if there are any opinions or preferences they would be much appreciated.
I will be pointing both cameras at an angle across the yard and driveway in between the gutter and the house. How much distance from the camera and the gutters should I be leaving so there isn’t reflection off the IR and gutter? I would like them to be inconspicuous but not hidden, meaning if someone is close and sees them that is fine I just don't want it to be the first thing someone sees when they look at the house.
