So I finally got all 5 Hikvision cameras installed around the house and are working flawlessly, Last night I was finally able to figure out how VPN worked and finally implemented that on my Network and all I gotta say about that is wow it was easier then opening up a million ports.
I need some advice on my last camera and I'm having a hard time figuring out different lenses and the type of camera I should use, So far I got 2 Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I cameras one on the garage and one on the side of the house..
So here is a picture for reference and can someone give me some advice on lenses and Camera? im leaning towards a Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I with a 4mm Lense but i think I should go 6mm?
The Goal for this camera is to watch that green door, The side of the house is roughly around 30 Feet Long and 7 inches wide here is a picture
This is were I plan on putting the camera right underneath the soffit low enough so it wont catch the roof and get alot of IR bleed, It's probably roughly about 7 feet tall
or should I Place the camera more in the middle of the side house like this
another picture for comparison
as you could see I already have Cat5 Cable ran into the attic and ready to go
Thanks for your help in advance
