Designing a surveillance system for our new house has suddenly fallen in to my lap so I'm trying to do so rather quickly. We are scheduled to move in on 5 Jun. The camera locations (27 in all) and focus points have been determined and pre-wired. I'm trying to pick the best cameras for each.
It seems that perhaps the best approach is to use Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE as the default camera for each location and then figure out which need something different such as higher resolution vs Starlight or PTZ?
Does this sound reasonable? Is there something I should be doing differently?
I am using the IPVM tool (great tool) but it won't allow me to import an image without the expense of joining and the Google Maps image they have is quite old and shows only a portion of the footings (and can't do more than 4 cameras and can't save, ...)
(I have read the cliff's notes (thank you to contributors!) and much of the rest of the wiki).
Thanks,
