Home setup, just 2 cams to get started. I'm new at this.
I went with DS-2CD2T42WD-I8, and am pretty happy. Running thru my HTPC on Blue Iris, 3770k, 32GB, 12TB. Bought cams on Amazon, international version, seems they are legit WR devices. Powered by PoE, bought an 8 port injector so i can expand more devices later.
Next addition will probably be an IR flood to get better coverage on the far side of my yard, which tends to ghost if i walk over there at night - i can see movement but not a clear picture at all times: Amazon.com : Univivi Infrared Illuminator, 850nm 6 Leds 90 Degree Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision, Waterproof LED Infrared Light for IP Camera, CCTV Security Camera : Camera & Photo
Example images are attached, showing both cams, day, night, and IR.
