Thank you! I bought some at HD the other day for some other holes, and you're right - we're in the pull out drawers :)

Thought about that option too :) Good idea!

There's the plan - in stock at HD in my town - good to go! Thanks - that's almost exactly what I had in mind but didn't know what I was looking for!

great ideas guys - this is helping a lot - thanks so much!! I like the soffit vents idea a lot - will help and not look funny either...

That's a good suggestion - thanks - I will definitely consider that one. I was also thinking about seeing if I could find a snap in plug the size of the paddle bit at home depot and then painting over it as well.

I'll see if I can get those sometime this afternoon after work. FWIW - it's a vinyl soffit - I used a paddle bit to drill the middle hole (which I can't remember what size it was, but it was whatever the sticker/template that comes with those cameras is) - and then I have 3 screws holding the...

I have 3 of these - IPC-HDW5231R-Z - mounted under my soffits on my current home. I would like to take them with me. What I don't want to do is leave huge holes in the soffits for the next owner, but replacing the soffit is not an option. I'm sure someone here has been through this before and...

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply TheSuperServer!

Super excited - got DHL notification - 3 of them on the way. A couple of questions: 1. Do these come with mounts? If not - which one(s) do I need? 2. Any suggestion size and or brand/speed/class for micro sd cards?

Hello. I would like a catalog, please.

fenderman - that's the kind of info I need as a newbie ;) Let me lookup the models you suggested and then see if I have more questions - LOL - thanks again for the help!

So for a newbie like me (in terms of new with security ip cameras...) but an extensive IT background (almost 15 years in IT) - would I want to avoid the dome due to harder installation or should I generally be ok? I've done car audio, built my own computers, wired houses with cat 5 etc...just...

You're right in that aspect - the only access ot the home (unless you want to do a lot of walking in the woods - LOL) is the driveway. So 1 2.8 and 1 4mm - is there a reason to go turret dome over the bullets in this case?

Sounds good - just wanted to make sure there wasn't a 'model' with a 16mm lens that I needed the number for or something, so I'll have to let the seller know before ordering what I want. I think I'll hold out for a seller who responds :)

A quick look on Aliexpress and a quick search on the net yields the option of the 16mm on the DS-2CD2T32-I8 but most items show a 4mm lens - how do you specify that you want the 16mm lens when you order? I've not ordered anything like this before which is why I'm asking. Thanks for any help!

Hey guys - thanks for the quick and easy recommendations - I'll start putting some cash aside soon to get this setup now that I know what my budget should be. Appreciate the help!

I have recently moved and am interested in covering a long driveway - according to google maps, it's 180 ft from my front door to the driveway - it's a wide open, driveway other then 1-2 trees, but they're really not in the way. I don't need plate numbers - I just need to know who's coming and...

Thanks for the input and the pics guys! You're helping me with all the choices and considerations to make. Is there a solid reason for a Dahua over Hikvision in this case or just 1.3mp over the 3mp for the night vision/long distance camera?

Yeah - I wasn't expecting faces @ 100' - but like you said, able to say "Hey judge/officer - they've been out there since 12 midnight and here's the proof or they have been out every night for a week....etc). Which Dahua model(s) would you recommend? I like the idea of a mic - even a weak one...

fenderman - thanks for the info - like I said - I'm learning... quick ;) I have a pretty good CPU as far as my server goes or I have my gaming rig if needed - both are i5 series CPU's - I would hope that's enough for about 3-4 cameras. Let me know if it's not. What I'm trying to capture at...

Thanks Mike - I'm basically looking for keep some footage for if I need to call the police after something has happened and also need to remote view when I'm not around. I think this would be a good setup for that purpose. Any other thoughts - please let me know - thanks so much!

Mike - thanks for the heads up on the 2032's - I was looking at them earlier before posting but I was unsure of how far you could see with them. I assume I could mix and match the camera (2 cheaper ones to monitor the closer distances and 1 of the 2632's for the 100' one..)?

I'm looking for my first camera system to help keep an eye out on the house. I've done some quick measures on google maps of distance - I'd like one corner to be able to see and record about 100' out - I need a camera on another 2 corners that will handle from around 50' to 75' or so per...
