Help finding the right camera

[Roboman]

Hi,

I'm looking to set up some cameras in our home and, after spending some time researching online, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the options. I’m hoping someone with more experience can guide me in the right direction.

Here’s what I have in mind:

• 3 outdoor cameras, mounted directly on the house
• 1-2 indoor cameras, ceiling-mounted or positioned high up
• A PoE switch in the attic or in a network rack on the first floor
• LAN cables to all cameras, including those outside, there is however a good WIFI if that is sufficient.
• High-quality imaging for both day and night
• Accurate motion detection
• Privacy zones to respect neighbors' boundaries
• Streaming to a local PC (Windows 11) or NAS (RTSP, ONVIF, iSpy, or Blue Iris)
• No media from indoor cameras should be sent outside the local network
• Storage in a local NAS, with possible sync to OneDrive or similar
• A monitor for real-time streaming
• Phone notifications when movement is detected
• Stream to phone view

I’ve already purchased a TP-Link Tapo C320WS, but even in daylight, the image quality is disappointing—significantly worse than a standard smartphone. Another option might be the Reolink RLC-510A, but I’m unsure if it’s an improvement. Arlo seems underwhelming, Eufy has had security concerns, and Ajax seems new to cameras. I could get Dahua cameras from Amazon but they have a lot of different models and will it be better then the Tapo?

Budget: I’m not looking for high-end professional equipment around €2000 but something more affordable, in the range of €400-900.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
