I'm planning on setting up a camera system in my dental office in phases. I designed a camera system for the whole office and would like to get some help and feedback. I have purchased a used computer for Blue Iris. My plan is to work on the outside first. I need Camera 7 to read license plates for drivers who are using my parking lot to illegally bypass the traffic light at the 3 way corner. The driveway is one way and given that cars have to yield to the main road, cars will stop and yield so I don't need cameras that capture plates at fast speeds.
My thoughts for C7 was a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I with a 25mm lens as I have read on other threads here. I wanted to put another DS-2CD2032 (without a lens) to capture the whole car and have a wider view. Let's call it C7a (which is not in the pictures). I wanted C8, C11, C12 to be PTZ but given that PTZ cameras are a bit expensive, can someone recommend a camera that has zooming abilities but not PTZ? I also would like the cameras to be somewhat small and inconspicuous.
Otherwise, the other cameras would also be DS-2CD2032 or DS-2CD3345-I. Which one would be more suitable for longer distances? Would love to hear your preferences.
Eventually when I start working on the inside, I will likely use dome cameras with microphones. Which camera would you recommend for those?
