I have a background in electronics and IT.
I am working on planing a POE IP cam setup for my home. Exterior and interior.
I have a security system (ELK M1 GOLD) monitored with basic door/window/glass break sensors.
I plan to set the cameras up with Blue Iris and have the machine running it in a locked rack in the basement. System and cameras will be on a UPS of decent capacity.
I am completely new to camera security so could use some pointers or links to help with camera selection/layout.
From what I have gathered so far I should probably look at hikvision, dahua and axis (if I like spending money) cameras but I am not sure what kind of camera I need where.
I can up some pictures of the outside and a layout of the interior but it will take me a couple of days.
