    Is there anywhere here where comparison pics are posted? I am pretty much ready for my order just this is last deciding factor. Don't want to have to return if i don't have to. How much better is 5442 vs T2431T-AS

    Appreciate this response very much. Understood for the Audio. My only concern is trying to hide the cameras as much as possible. Firstly I am going to try and get black models or I will use krylon fusion and paint myself. Understood for deepstack and AI. That is actually perfect the video card...

    Fair enough ok good to know. 2-3ft away then at least? was thinking of doing 4ft spacing of lights in soffits. so if i put it at 2ft from each light right in the middle would that suffice? You mean ground lights shining at my house? Also You mentioned the 3241T-ZAS . Am i not able to do basic...

    I am planning on installing soffit lighting in the front and back too in the spring. Should I be concerned about my camera choices?

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    Very much appreciate your thorough responses. That 49225 looks amazing. I am definitely considering that for back of house with an IR Blaster. Will definitely do openvpn with my older PC. I will probably just get blueiris. Shopping list looks like 3 6mm 5442's for the sides, a...

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    Thanks very much for your response. I'm assuming the one exception would be a general overview of the property? Thanks I will look further into everything. So much information lol I know once I can settle on cameras at least that is big step out of the way. What is the max distance away I could...

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    At what height do you have this at? Could i get away with mounting it off my second story soffit or probably a bad idea? Just thinking of tampering and hiding it out of plain view. Appreciate your suggestions and help. the 2mp 2231 varifocal probably still holds its own. I appreciate this...

    I respect your opinion I am more of a one and done type so I would rather get the 6-8 cameras now do all wiring and be done with it. Respect your opinion on refurbs too just thinking from Andy they would be ok. Understood on the 3.6 :)

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    Thanks for the reply! Have you ever used xprotect? This is very true with the snow good point. Would soffit lights help? Will give IPVM a go. Yes I am thinking i will get one 5442T-ZE and use it for testing. After that I can use it in one spot in the back to zoom further down the property...

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    I'm pretty sure with starlight and the front of house LED I could see full color pretty well. Also is everyone here a Blueiris user? any xprotect fans? xprotect is free up to 8 cameras why i ask before i splurge on blueiris. Also is 4k pretty much a gimmick? From everything i'm seeing 5442 just...

    Hello IPCAMTALK! Happy Holidays! N3wb here asking for help!

    I am planning 8 cameras. Have attached pictures of front of house. As you can see the LED light from the street does a great job of illuminating the front. Like i said the back is completely dark but I am planning on soffit lighting in the future. Should i consider an IR illuminator for the...
