Looking for security camera recommendation

[myfrndjk]

Hi,

I am new to security cameras.

I am looking for recommendation for my farm [8 acres]

Farm has internet connection so poe should be fine.

We will monitor from remote so remote access is important.

I bought a reolink system RLK16-1200B8-A but it dont recognize face even from 20ft away so decided to return it

Expectations/requirements:

camera should automatically zoom in face and track whoever/whatever [Dogs or humans] tries to cross the fence and monitor few specific areas like where goats and chicken shelters , fish tanks

How many cameras i may need and what will be the approximate budget.



Please suggest cameras for this purpose

Thanks

Welcome to IPCAMTALK!

Eight acres is a lot of space to cover, especially just starting out. There are a lot of things to consider, not just which cams to buy. You really need a plan to cover your area. You need to define just what you expect to see and where on your property to see it.

Check out the WIKI to get an idea of how to plan these kind of things.

A diagram of what you want of your property would really help folks try and give you help.
