I live in a relatively safe neighborhood single family corner home. Till date was using Panasonic Homehawk which is battery operated Wifi and I am simply fed up. Before posting here I did my research and found I already have a good backbone setup. (1) My entire home already uses Unifi and Unifi POE+ switches and access points POE based and I use Synology 4-bay disk station.
Thus - only option I am considering is PoE based outdoor cameras.
The way my house is structured I'll need a lot of cameras to cover all angles and I called someone who said if I go for 3 PTZ cameras which can auto roam I'll be able to cover my house fully. Alternatively if I go with fixed cameras I'll need minimum 7 to 8 as I have 4 exit doors, backyard, park on street and basement windows. That'll make it cost prohibitive.
Unfortunately, I have fallen in love with the fact that against my main door the camera I have can 2 way talk which has been a God Send to me. Thus, that's something I'll like to retain, as a feature.
My home is actually well light, from the perspective of street lights, doors having bright lights which come on if motion is detected, etc. and thus having really awesome low light capability is good but not must have.
With this background wondering if there are suggestions available for me to review? In a nutsheel:
1. PTZ capability - which can auto track in case of movement detection, human, vehicle is a must, Great to have: if facial recognition is feasible, license plate read is feasible.
2. PTZ should be able to move back and forth automatically thus scanning continuously a good area.
3. Defining zones/perimeters, tripping points, etc.
4. 2 way talk - now I understand 2-way talk especially for PTZ is hard to come by thus at least 1 2-way talk is 100% required.
