Feedback on proposed system - and help!

[Brian Bain]

Hi all,

I have been thinking about getting some security cameras for a long time now and have finally decided to get some and I'd like your feedback.

My priorities

1. High quality night-time recordings, low ambient light
2. See packages on the porch (10ft x 10ft area)
3. See cars drive up to the house (30ft away)
4. See card drive down the street Cars will be about 50ft away, there are street lights
5. Smooth video, 30fps minimum I assume based on what I have seen on youtube

Camera choice so far: DS-2CD2342WD-I

Considered vivotek IB8381 but it didn't seem to be much better and it's much more expensive?

Are there other cameras that I should consider?

Environment:

1. Wired network, I don't want any recording/wireless issues
2. total of 6 cameras problably
   1. Porch
   2. Front driveway
   3. Front down driveway
   4. Front street
   5. Back yard - deck/door
   6. back yard - yard

Recording

1. Via Blue Iris (is this a good choice?
2. Server running windows with many TBs of space so I'll want to record 24x7 and keep weeks of footage

Budget: I'd rather not spend more than $1k per camera

Any thoughts? Any info I can provide to help? should i take pictures for more feedback?
