I need help building a home security camera setup and would appreciate any recommendations.

I have a dedicated PC, so I need:
  • Software Blue Iris?)
  • POE NVR that has at least 8 channels,
  • 2 IP cameras that are PTZ with audio,
  • 2 (varifocal?) cameras with audio (preferred, but can live without it) that can identify license plates and faces from 50 feet and have very good night vision.
  • Mobile App

My budget is $1000. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome @Wylis_Hodor

Do check out some of the Dahua OEM 2MP starlight PTZ reviews by members here, they maybe what you are looking for.

Also, if you have a PC running Blue Iris you do not need a NVR, just a PoE switch that can power the cameras. ( perhaps a PoE+ switch )
