I'm going to run a cable out to a switch at the metal barn so we can have WiFi out there and make it a shorter run to the field (to the right of the barn) where our weather camera will be mounted.
I also want to install a camera where the yellow circle is on the corner of the barn looking back at the house. There is 125ft between the house and that corner of the barn, so I'm not sure this would be a good fit for an identity camera for anyone snooping around the house, but perhaps a spotter cam for the PTZ, and a good overview cam. Unless maybe I go with another PTZ to zoom in on anyone snooping around the house. Maybe one of the dual lens would be good to get a broader overall view.
The camera that is parked looking at the barn from this image is a PTZ5A4K-25X. It does not see that corner of the barn at night. I can barely see the Jeep and the left side of the barn (see second pic below for that night shot).
I could put a very bright flood light on the barn that would probably light all that area in front of it, but not sure how that would affect a camera mounted there.
I suppose another option would be to get a camera with good lighting, although if it's pointed back at the house, it would likely be blinding to us, so a flood light where the direction can be controlled to be flooding closer to the buidling might work better. Again... not sure how that would affect the camera.
As always, I appreciate your recommendations.
