Don't know guys what you do with all these cameras... Must have huge houses =) Or put many more on the inside...
There are only 4 sides to my house, and 1 of them (back) is facing the 4m wall. So I am planning to get just 4 cameras - 2 for the front and 1 on each side that has side access. I would want one more at the front, to capture any incoming car details (house is perpendicular to the road), but at $170 - don't know if it its worth "just in case" scenario. Its amazing how just few bit and pieces add up to a big price. When you think you know the cost, you end up spending more on PoE switches, HDD, cables etc etc
Nayr, that PoE splitter/extender - what do you have it connected on the single cable end? I can get the 24 port Cisco PoE switch for free, but I think its an overkill for the 4 camera setup.
Can someone please give me a list of things that I need? I am thinking NVR without PoE, just for ease of replacement if PoE stops working.
What HDD is the go (brand, size - for 4 of these cameras)
PoE injector + 1 to 4 PoE splitter (or any other source of power/network)
Cables
Anything else?
