Hello IpCamtalk
I'm looking at getting some cameras probably one to start with and the rest over the coming months. I'm planning on running Xprotect Essential+ or blue iris haven't fully decided yet. I have a vlan with no internet access already setup. I have a vivint doorbell camera already.
I'm thinking about 4 cameras (open to suggestions) the first camera I'm looking at is: IPC-T5442T-ZE from Andy. wanting to place over the garage in the middle, but not sure if it would be better on the left side under the eave. across the front of the house on either side of the garage, both sides of the entry near front door and the other corner of the house is led lighting that comes on under the eaves at dark. I'm tempted to get the cameras with the led light for the back yard.
sorry for the terrible picture. Orange is the general outline of the house White is the back fence in the backyard (no lighting besides a light on back porch that is off most of the time. Across the alley goes up a bit if that matters. the neighbors houses are pretty close Green line is front/side yard about the same distance on the sides to the neighbors house. I'm not sure about cameras facing down the side of the house due to the proximity of neighbors houses/windows (don't want to deal with upset neighbors lol)
Thanks, Jag
