Hi all,
Firstly, thanks to all the contributors to this forum. I've been reading the forums non-stop for a few weeks. I've spent most of the time hanging out, okay lurking, in the Dahua Hardware section.
I will be building my first system using Dahua cams.
I'm looking for advice and opinions on everything. Have not given much thought to the NVR,but that should be easy compared to camera selection. I will be happy to upload captures to share to the forum. I have found them to be be very helpful.
The site:
Thanks

The site:
- Semi Rural - coverage area (~700 ft x ~300 ft )
- Single point of access to property is via a bridge, all sides protected by a 12 ft deep muddy drainage canal.
- Office /Shed - Location (1)
- Location (1) is connected via wireless bridge (Loco M5 )
- Residence - Location (2)
- Distance to the choke point from location (1) is 385 ft or 190 ft (2) from residence.
- At night we have no light.
- Bridge (choke point) coverage is crucial. Coverage should be at least good enough for LPR day/night
- Would prefer all coverage from location (1) but may have to place another cam at location (2). A single camera solution may not be possible given the distances/coverage/quality required.
- (1) Location: Shed - A camera (PTZ) will be mounted aprox 16 ft from ground and would have to cover a distance of up to 215 ft to rear of residence, up to 150 ft in other directions. It has a clear line of site to the choke point (bridge) 385 ft.
- (2) Location: Residence - would be fixed under an eve aprox 190 ft to choke point.
- (3-6) Locations -: IR illuminators, if you can convince me I should not get a PTZ with Laser IR for location (1).
- Dahua Starlight PTZ 30x - 40x - for location (1)
- Dahua Varifocal Bullet or lite PTZ location (2)
Thanks
