Recommendations on cameras for my existing pre wire

[asknet]

Hi folks,

I did pre-wire for POE on my home. Sadly, I completed that process before I find this forum. My setup may not be good. Now, question is with the below setup, What are recommendations on cameras to setup, effectively? In the attached picture, all the arrows with C5 are for IP cameras. Appreciate any guidance on this ( I did go through some of the old posts, and i'm unable to digest it very well).

Welcome @asknet

Pickup one varifocal 4MP 1/1.8" camera ( 5442 if Dahua OEM ) and start to play with those positions .. see how well the positions work,

consider a short piece of conduit and junction box if you need to drop the positions down a bit, consider going under the vinyl sliding if you have vinyl siding to move positions around ..

What @mat200 said.

Without knowing what your desired job for each cam, and no pics of the outside, one really can't help you there.

But see this tread for some info:

(5) "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths. | IP Cam Talk
