I've turned a complete 180* about in my feelings regarding the pandemic lockdown. At the time, I was all for it. I mean "what else were we supposed to do?" But since everything got back to "normal", I'm seeing the mental health affect on kids. I've watched juvenile crime go from minor school...

^THIS is what I want my system to do. I like the way Metthew eyeballed your cam and decided to bike on.

I know I'm late to this thread, but as a prosecutor, my anecdotal experience is that cameras don't deter much (if anything)... especially if its consumer stuff like Ring, Wyze, ADT...etc. If the perps have some sense of self preservation they might avoid a property that has visible cameras...

Not so much scratch as I already have an AMD AM4 2700x cpu, motherboard and nvidia 1070ti sitting around not getting used.

Hooboy... a few of those NVR vs. BI threads had some serious pissing contests going on. I'm starting to lean towards BI (if for no other reason than I LOVE building PC's from scratch). I bought the camera suggested above and an unmanaged POE switch. Wow <Owen Wilson voice>... there's a LOT...

Good advice all around Mat200. What camera do you think would be a good "test cam"? And for the test setup would it be easier to get an sd card cam or set it up with BI on my laptop for temporary testing? That brings me to another question (not to derail my own thread). I'm on the fence...

(I added an aerial view to the original post so folks can see the tree on the corner.) Thank you Mat200. With those locations in mind, where and what type of cameras would you install (using locations numbered in this pic):

Greetings all, I'm curious as to what locations you would place cameras on my house (pic below). I plan on starting out with 4 or 5 cameras. I'm keen on the idea of using wide view spotter cams in conjunction with a PTZ (but I'm not married to the idea if it's not the best use of $). The...

What "subscription free" alarm options are out there?

Good morning all, Joined up here as it's become obvious that I need to get out of the wifi/Ring ecosystem. I work with juvenile delinquents and I've had several cases within the last 3 months where these kids have managed to get their hands on wifi jammers then start breaking into homes/cars...
