Good point. Satisfactory may not be too bad in some of the locations. And - I was certainly swayed by the price point since the system I have planned is already over $1k. That probably sounds like pennies, but not so much for me. Makes a ton of sense. thank you.

Understood, makes a lot of sense. I feel like these 2 are very important. #1 - I know that with the onboard AI, I can use it within HA. What else would it be good for that Frigate doesn't do by itself? What is the advantage of having both? #2 - Seems like this is the most common theme in...

Yes, they would be installed in the soffits on the outside, the one in the garage may be much, much lower as it would be watching the interior of the stairs from the basement.

ha. I did know that much at least :) I took those down a while ago as they were more of a nuisance than anything else. ok, gotcha. I'm thinking I probably won't need that, then, as most of the focus would be in the initial 10-15 feet, but I will keep reading.

ok, I will start there. I have Arlo currently and they aren't great, but do work. Very poor for detection unless you want to detect everything. Other question, If they are variable focus, is that focus internal and automatic? What would Frigate do with them, if they did that automatically...

I did check out the focal length post and some of the reviews, but now I feel even more lost. lol. Mostly because I feel like the cameras I chose are the wrong ones and now I will have to look at everything again, which is daunting.

Functionally they would be for security. So, I guess it would be people-watching :) I'm sure if I saw a coyote or something else go by a camera I would check that out as well, though. One of the security issues, for example, often (maybe 1-2x per month), the side door on my garage is...

The architecture I'm looking at is the following: ESXi VM (Or HP DL380 Gen7) Server Frigate Software Home Assistant Software Doorbell (already purchased Amcrest AD410) POE Switch Cameras The last part is the stickler for me. I've looked at a LOT of cameras. I think I've landed on Amcrest...
