Camera Selection - Pole Mount

[jeffreyca84]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a camera to be deployed and connected into my existing Blue Iris setup. I'm looking for a PoE camera that will be mounted up 8'-10' on a pole. The camera would look to cover an area up to 100ft away from the camera. Night vision would be very important....and it would be great to get a wide view as close to 180 degrees if possible (not sure if that's realistic).

Looking for recommendations.

I have a feeling that unit is probably out of my price range.

Hi @jeffreyca84

Ah.. then you're probably going to need to compromise your requirements a little bit.

"The camera would look to cover an area up to 100ft away from the camera. Night vision would be very important....and it would be great to get a wide view as close to 180 degrees if possible (not sure if that's realistic). "

See the DORI info in the cliff notes, they should be useful to help you get a better idea of what is possible.
