Looking for (likely) two cameras:
· 10-30' coverage, day and night face-recognition quality coverage for driveway and adjacent walkway to door;
Daytime coverage good enough to get facial recognition for anyone coming to the porch to grab a package or for plates on vehicles pulling into my driveway (an oddly frequent occurrence)
· 100’, vehicle make quality image and trigger for end of the street (where at least one criminal is parking); vehicle likely travelling through the viewed area at 15-20mph (parks 15yds further away out of sight from my house).

ambient lighting for the target area includes an overhead street light.
For both--need good nighttime coverage due to timing of criminal activity
Product Selection thoughts to date:
- Driveway/walkway: based on my reading to date, I'm leaning towards the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z Starlight Turret.
- End of the Street: I'd do the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z Starlight Turret (maybe with an IR illuminator helping) or perhaps a Dahua black face PTZ like SD59225U-HNI (will would to get a dedicated POE+ injector for the latter I know)
Installation thoughts to date:
- I am thinking of placing on the underside of the beams that are under and inset from the actual soffits. the walkway on centered on the walkway, the other somewhere further right (looking out) based on minimizing obstructions toward the end of the street.
- This placement will put the camera in front of the porch and garage light sources. Only complication is my column mounted flag-post--it will be interesting to see how well the software setup can prevent false triggers on that (although I'll budget a lot of storage capacity anyway).
- This would also have the cameras relatively protected from weather.
- At night, my porch and garage lights will provide some ambient light from behind the cameras. The only lighting challenge I think I might have are a few low voltage landscape lights--I'm hoping that won't throw my driveway/walkway camera off too much.
Hopefully my pics are worth at least a few words, but I can post more description and pics as useful to clarify/explain further.
Camera selection and installation thoughts/alternatives are welcome and appreciated.
