Need Help!! Tired of Looking......

Hello,

i'm a newb on this site for posting, but have read a lot. Here's my issue...I put in a great system with 4 Cameras and my QNAP NAS (QVR Pro). However, 2 of the cameras will not integrate with QVR Pro (Reolink Argus 2). I originally thought it would be fine, but it's a hassle. Soooo....I need 2 IP/POE cameras that can be mounted on a window sill (horizontal surface) and look down from the 2nd floor. It would be fantastic if the camera is small enough to mount like i did the Argus 2. See Pic.....Thoughts/Suggestions??

I will be forever in your debt......

You don't need Wi-Fi, do you?
A wired (Ethernet and/or POE) will be OK?

Yes. That's correct. I have an ethernet outlet near both windows.

Assuming your QNAP NAS just needs a RTSP URL, this little guy is only $45, is POE, 1080p, ONVIF and likely has an RSTP stream (you'd have to ask @Sean Nelson at Nelly's).
You could fasten to a small wood block to mount to the window sill.
There's even a box for it to protect the pigtail here.



P.S. - Welcome to IPCT!

Thanks for the welcome....

That looks pretty slick. I wonder whats the diameter of that base? I hope it can be pointed down from the 2nd floor. It don't have to be a steep angle down, but it does need to be able to go pass horizontal some. Have you used this camera before?

I have not used it.
I think to get to aim down from horizontal you need a wood block that is wedge shaped.
It's 8MB / 4K big brother here has close to a 4-star rating. It's also a little more wide angle (3.6mm) as compared to the $45 2MP / 1080p (2.8mm)
