I'm replacing a 24-camera analog Dahua DVR and a 16-camera Dahua NVR with a single Blue Iris rackmount setup. The NVR has a bunch of Northern 4MP (not 4k) POE cameras that I will keep.
I'd like to spend us$100 or less per camera, but I have a us$5000 budget to replace all 24 cameras.
My challenge is to find great cameras for our tedious needs:
1. Parking lot, mounted at 14ft with about 120ft from camera to the far corner. Lighting turns off overnight.
2. Exterior License plate with cars moving at a 20mph and a distance of 30-40ft
3. Consecutive entry door (ie there's an exterior set of doors and an interior set of doors) where the exterior doors are heavily tinted, so the doors open and it goes from interior lighting to bright sun. Camera is mounted at 6ft and intended to capture faces upon entry.
4. Interior showroom with 15ft ceiling cameras. Showroom has tiny product (like gold chains), floors and walls are dark.
5. 100ft Alley with camera mounted at 14ft and the desire to identify someone anywhere along the length
6. The remainder are in offices
The combined system will be:
* gigabit LAN connection
Thank you for the input on the camera selection!
