I read the cliff notes and wiki but there are too many cameras.
I need PoE cameras only.
I want to install my first camera at my house to only cover the driveway atm. My driveway is about 20 ft long. This camera is only to watch my cars that are parked on the driveway and the street. I am guessing a varifocal turret is recommended?
For the business, it is currently run with old analog wires but dahua has the converter for $15 so cameras compatible with the converter would be nice. However, I will be running cat5e wire to spots anyways.
Right now, I plan to order at least 5 cameras. 1 for the home and 4-6 for the business.
However, the cliff notes recommened cameras are a year old. Are those cameras still recommened?
For the business, my parking has lights on during the night so for 2 of them, light will not be an issue. However, 2 of them do not have any light. I will be running new cat5 wire for these so I dont need the converter.
I also need one for my office that will record audio. And lastly, I need another camera to cover the entrance only. This camera will be placed 15 ft high about 15 ft away so I will need this camera to zoom in to the entrance only to ID faces.
The only camera that I decided on for the parking lot with light is the 2 in 1 dome camera. I might order 2 of these.
For my driveway, I think the varifocal turret with the glass ZE model would be good. I might buy another for my office.
Now I just need a recommendation for the front entrance.
