Hi,
I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I need recommendations on additional nvr ip cameras. Had a 'close call' where a vehicle was snooping around, pulled down my driveway, saw existing cams, and then backed out very slowly. Did not have cam in place to catch license plate.
I plan to dig a trench, run direct bury cat6, mount a weatherproof box, and place 2 cameras near the top of my driveway (one of each side of a nice tree). One will face up the other down. This should catch license plate and a good clear pic of vehicle. I do not need license plate detection.... just low enough to the ground for a good picture. Distance to vehicle will be ~30 feet.
I've got the poe switch and wiring handled. Am running blue iris already w/ 11 other cameras. ALL my existing cams are from the same web merchant... unknown mfg.
Screenshot of existing camera's web interface:

I'm looking for a cam w/ flat lens (have had bad problems with ir bounceback on my dome cameras). No zoom. And good compatibility w/ blue iris. I guess primary and a substream would be desirable? I assume IR at night is standard on a decent camera?
Maybe a 'camo' color would help... like maybe black or something dark? Or do I just go with white/almond as a deterrent?
