Greetings all,
So I'm in the process of selecting cameras for our home; still very new to this. I've downloaded the IP cam guide and surveillance handbook offered on this site and will take a look shortly, but I wanted to get some feedback on the cameras I selected thus far based on what I could find on this site.
So for outside, I'm interested mainly in three locations:
1. Front Door (we have a sitting area and plan to have a camera pointed towards the front door)
2. Garage (pointed at the cars in the driveway)
3. Backyard (mounted on the second floor)
for this task I selected so far:
1.DAHUA IPC-HDW5231R-ZE (Front Door) - Amazon is unavailable atm, but I did find it on EBAY....I think? (Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 2MP 2.7~13.5MM Lens POE IP67 IR Eyeball Network Camera | eBay)
2.Empire Tech IPC-HFW1831E (Garage Door)
3.Empire Tech IPC-HFW1831E (Back Yard Door)
I've read to stay away from dome cameras for outside since they fog up and especially with Florida's humidity, pretty sure that's going to happen easily. I also just read (today) that I might want to avoid bullets because of spiders?
Thanks in advance and if there is a better selection in that similar price point (under $200/cam) then please let me know!
