Hi, everyone!
I just wanted to say thanks for providing such a great resource and forum!
Was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on my set-up.
For example, the computer running BI-- would you consider it more than enough for my set-up; is the location being in the loft area (which would serve as the office) ideal?
Your thoughts on a doorbell selection or the indoor camera that I've chosen?
Equipment/Software:
The home is 2500 square feet. There is a built-in enclosure in the master bedroom walk in closet that will house the modem, router, PoE switch, and wiring from the cameras. I would place the computer running the blue iris software on that same floor in a different room (the loft). I was considering a PoE indoor camera, but I really like what this one offers in regards to the built-in speaker and microphone.
If you could let me know your thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate it!
