I've identified the need for 9 cameras to have good coverage on a large property.
Here's what I'm looking for:
* One PTZ with awesome night vision. I'm looking to be able to view wide angle as well as zoom into around 60 feet away into the street to capture crisp detail. I don't need invisible/covert IR for this one. This will be mounted high, maybe 8ft high on a gate.
* One 4mm fixed lens with awesome night vision. Again, I don't need invisible/covert IR for this one either. It will not have a wall to be mounted on, I need to somehow mount it to a tree or steel rods staked into the backyard.
* Two 2.8mm wide angle fixed lens with invisible (940nm) IR. These will be mounted on walls or eaves, and I'll be painting them dark brown to blend in. They are covering outdoor guest/social areas, so I don't want for the little red eyes to cause attention. I don't want guests to feel "watched".
* One 4mm fixed lens with invisible (940nm) IR. This too will be painted dark brown and installed on the eaves (to blend in), as they are covering outdoor guest/social areas.
* One 3.6mm fixed lens with invisible (940nm) IR. This too will be installed on the eaves covering outdoor guest/social areas.
* Two 6mm fixed lens with invisible (940nm) IR. Same story here. An eaves installation covering outdoor guest/social areas.
Any recommendations? Any insights?
For the invisible IR cameras, is it better to get a normal IR camera and turn-off the IR and use external 940nm emitters?
Or is it better to get the 940nm IR built-in to the camera? Should all the cameras be IP cameras?
By the way, I'm looking for high resolution for all these cameras in the day time and especially at night. I am thinking 3MP is my minimum resolution.
Would love some help!
Thanks!!
