Hello,
I am considering go with Amcrest cameras for my security/surveillance system. Do you think it's worth the extra $10 to get 3 megapixels instead of 2 megapixels?
For example, the difference between these two cameras is $10:
Amcrest IP3M-956W
Amcrest IP2M-851W
(i wish they had a dual-band 5ghz version, because 2.4ghz band is very very congested in my area. I am not able to run PoE cables, so wifi is mandatory. I want to stay with a covered dome camera for outside, to avoid spiders and problems like that.)
For my indoor cameras, I am thinking to get three or four of these: Amcrest IP3M-HX2
For the moment, I will link the cameras to blue iris on an old computer (AMD Athlon II with 3gb RAM) for testing (no recording). Then if things look good I will probably get an Amcrest 8 channel NVR.
Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations?
Thanks!
