Hopefully someone can help me out. So I need about an 8 camera setup to cover the outside of my house. I've been researching off and on for about a year now and I just haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm not sure what I need or what camera is the best option. I've read the Wiki, I have Ethernet already ran, Blue Iris, but after that.... I know the Starlight lineup is a good and popular choice right now and figured I would go that route, but there are so many models and options that it seems over whelming at times and I want to just say screw it and just order some cameras and start installing them. I know I want to go with Dahua and I'm assuming Turret style would be my best option. I have the location of the cameras and distances from a footage wheel so I know those. However I'm not sure on what camera to buy for what location. I know lighting in each area can make a difference on what camera to go with, but each location will have exterior house lights on and street lights as well, so basically your normal neighborhood lighting. If I need to add IR I can. Starlight models for each location? Which one? Varifocal? Newest Model? I would like some suggestions or advice. Price wise I have no problem spending what I need to for the cameras, but I don't need $1,000 cameras. Thanks for any help!
