Hello all, I am currently in the planning stage of my setup. Right now I'm running Eufy Security wifi cameras tied to their homebase. They work ok for general observation out to about 30' and identification out to about 15' but they do miss many detections and therefore clips dont get recorded to the homebase. This brings me to wanting to install a POE wired system running off a BI box that I will build which will have 24/7 recording with better detections hopefully.
Attached is what I am looking at currently and am open to suggestions as to any changes that should be made before I start pulling cables. The garage does not have an easy pathway for wiring to my server rack so I will most likely do a WiFi uplink to a POE switch in the garage for those 3 cameras on the south of the attached image.
The majority of traffic comes up from the south which the LPR will hopefully catch, and the PTZ will hopefully catch some/most of the traffic coming from the north. Cameras 2 and 4 will also act as spotter cameras for the PTZ. I also plan on pulling some ethernet out to the shed (indicated as the grey box in the bottom right of my yard) and will probably put a camera in the future facing to the north/east to monitor the garage door on that side of the shed with only camera 6 monitoring the double doors on the west side of the shed. I do not plan on adding any security lighting in the back yard or on the shed as I do astrophotography from the back yard and cant have the lights.
