How many cameras are in your setup? Also, how many cameras do you think is too many? Obviously, this question is highly subjective and is going to vary from setting to setting but what are your thoughts? Also, mention in your comments, if the setup you're pertaining to is for residential or commercial purposes.

I have 12 cameras around my home and property. That’s down from a high # of 16. Too many is when you find it difficult when you are scanning for a certain camera and it takes you too long before your eyes lock on the right one - that’s what my wife tells me, but I would still probably end OK maybe adding 2 more

I have 25 on my main Blue Iris system right now. Soon to be 26. Residential.



It is certainly more than I need.

Many of them have overlapping views.

5 aren't really for security purposes at all, marked with an X here:



I also have 3 more indoors which I only connect to the main BI when I go on vacation.
