We moved into a new to us house and have been thinking about an outdoor camera system. The thought process has has evolved from the dubious Blink , to having someone wire my house with a BNC system , to POE and maybe I can just run those cables myself.
I've learned that there are "systems-that-shall-not-be-named" and I've learned that there is this sort of world wide Amazon called Aliexpress. But mostly I've decided to spend several more hours reading and lurking before I make a jump.
Thanks for all the great info, even if the more I learn the more I realize what I don't know.

Spend a week...not hours and you will make stronger decisions without the regret we see all too often

Welcome VonLeo

Excellent! We're always happy to help others as others here have helped us.

It's easy to get swamped with information here, so I wanted to share some notes with you

Please check out @giomania 's notes:
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

I have also made notes which are a summary of a lot of the reading I've been doing here,:
Looking for some advice and direction!

Have fun joining us here.
