First of all, I didn’t pick out the system so I’m open to any and all suggestions. I’m specifically interested in advice on what cameras to purchase for the new locations but I’m not opposed to moving existing cameras around or potentially replacing some of the existing cameras. I did add the garage camera that I got for $25 during one of the LaView sales but otherwise I haven't made any changes to the system.
This is my current CCTV setup:
NVR – Hikvision DS-7716NI-I4/16P
Camera 1 - Front Yard (Right) – Hikvision IR Mini Bullet Network Camera (DS-2CD2012WD-I)
Camera 2 - Front Yard (Left) – Hikvision IR Mini Bullet Network Camera (DS-2CD2012WD-I)
Camera 3 - Side Yard – Hikvision IR Mini Bullet Network Camera (DS-2CD2012WD-I)
Camera 4 - Driveway – Hikvision IR Mini Bullet Network Camera (DS-2CD2012WD-I)
Camera 5 - Gate (facing inside) - TBD
Camera 6 - Gate (facing outside) - TBD
Camera 7 - Back Yard (Left) - TBD
Camera 8 - Back Yard (Right) – TBD
Camera 9 - Garage (Inside) – LaView 720P 1.3MP Varifocal Dome IP Camera (LV-PD5V108-VF)
Camera 10 - Front Door (Inside) – Hikvision 1.3MP Vandal-Resistant Network Dome Camera (DS-2CD2712FWD-I)
Camera 11 - Sunroom Door (Inside) – Hikvision 1.3MP Vandal-Resistant Network Dome Camera (DS-2CD2712FWD-I)

I also have the following network setup:

Questions:
1) What cameras should I get for the TBD locations mentioned above?
2) Are there any cameras that I should replace? I'm specifically thinking about replacing the 1.3MP bullets with 4MP turrets.
3) Where should I purchase the suggested cameras from 1) and 2)?
4) What is the best way to connect to my cameras remotely from my iPhone? VPN?
5) Are there any settings that are typically recommended for a similar setup?
