Overkill? It probably is, but I like to see as much as possible. I'm wondering if my planned choices for cameras will do the job so I'm looking for opinions/perspectives.
For the red arrays I plan to use the varifocal IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 2MP WDR Eyeball Cameras. The yellow, the IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M/M12 2MP Dual Starlight Cameras (2.8mm at the front door (approach and pkgs) and 3.6mm for all others: inside of the garage (coverage for two garage doors plus an entrance into the house and a door to the side yard), back porch to watch back door and part of yard, east eaves looking down at window wells and approaches to the yard). Window well coverage will not be optimal because of height and angle of view, but interior cameras will have that covered.
I'd love to be able to help out a neighbor if they come to me with an issue that occurred overnight, but I'm not sure I'd be much help with this setup.
I'm hoping for a low profile with mounting these cameras on the eaves; there is a lip on the eave that hangs down so I may have to use a junction box in a couple of places.
I thought about including IPC-HFW8232E-Z Varifocal Bullet that Nayr reviewed last year on the front two corners of the house, but they're so darn big--It's not a HOA thing (we don't have one)--just so big when I'm trying to keep a low profile.
Thanks and would appreciate all your thoughts, hypothesis, questions about my camera choices, coverage. I plan to order from Andy on Monday or whenever he has stock.
