Yes sir John, you are correct, that is exactly what I was able to do. Thanks everyone for the help and tips. Here is the new install. Still kept the overhead for an overall view, this new cam gives me the face.

I was thinking those mini-domes were pretty small, you're probably right, maybe I will try to move it down and fish the wall. Can't really do conduit since it's brick and even painted would look pretty bad.

True, I guess aesthetically it's not as pleasing but could probably move it down, would be a bitch to mount fishing cable through the insulated wall up into the attic.

Probably about 12ft. It's a dome, only other option would be to drill into the brick to move it down to door height but then running risk of tampering with it.

Right, but then when they ring the doorbell and I look at my cam I won't see anyone because the cam is looking at the arch entry. Anyway, reached out to @EMPIRETECANDY, waiting to hear back. Is china really the only place to get these cams? All my cameras are HK, love them, but I've heard...

Yeah, idea was to see the person(s) standing in the doorway not catch them walking into the doorway, that's why I'm now looking for something to catch the face entering the doorway. If I put 6mm up there and pointed it down I would just see a persons head.

Also, just fyi, sun won't be a problem. Thinking I will be mounting it right next to the doorbell. Thoughts? Good location?

Thanks, sent him a message and canceled the other order

Looking for a Dahua 2MP Starlight MiniDome 3.6mm and was given your name. Can you help me out?

where do you guys order these from?

Thanks, before you mentioned that I went ahead and placed an order for one of these thinking I would just mount it to the brick close to the doorbell. I will take a look at the starlight.

I'm looking for options on mounting something on the front close to the door bell that can catch someones face. I have an HK 2.8 dome mounted up high but want something like the ring, but not the ring, to get the face. Don't really want to mount a HK bullet down that low as I would think...

They are able to do it on the SS and HK NVR. Guess I will just record at 15 fps full time.

NEWB here, been trying to find software/hardware that is worth a damn to work with my mid-level hikvision setup. Started with SS, then Hikvision NVR, now trying Blue Iris because all the others fell short in certain areas. Some things with blue iris seem limiting for my more advanced PTZ...
