Hi everyone! Complete newbie here. I have a 2-story house with an attached 2-car garage, so entry points (apart from windows) are (1) the front door, (2) garage door next to it, (3) garage side door and (4) a glass door from the family room to the backyard. Can someone please give me some recommendations as to what kind of cameras could be good for each spot? I am hoping to cover (1) and (2) with one camera if possible.
(1) and (2) obviously face the front yard and the driveway roughly 50ft long
(3) faces a neighbor with around 6ft between the door and his fence
(4) back yard is roughly 50ft by 50ft
I've been looking at EmpireTech units and am overwhelmed by the infinitely large selection of cameras with no clear purpose indicated for each (for a newbie that is). From lurking here and on reddit I have seen some general suggestions. 5442 (54IR) fixed lens 2.8mm but only 15ft for identify; IPC-Color4K-T but needs extra (?) light and only has 20ft identify; 5441F-AS-E2 recommended for front door but I've seen some reviews claiming poor performance at night.
Please help! I'm lost. Thank you so much!
