I'm using blue iris 3 (will upgrade if necessary) with 3 existing cams with 1TB harddrive. So far 17% CPU usage only.
I need to add a couple more (around 6-7 cam I estimate). All POE.
Requirement 1:
Outside to watch backdoor/electric-box. I suspect my electric box is being tampered with at night causing our bill to skyrocket. A fusebox is literally open with the cover missing. Since I sleep 100m away from my backdoor (it's a big place, like a warehouse) I want to place a camera there, and a camera to the camera just in case it is tampered with. with DORI, an identification within 2 meters (I'll place the camera close by but up high). A 180 degree coverage if possible ( idon't mind 2 camera setup).
Requirement 2:
Indoor warehouse. I hear sounds at night and want to see what it is. The area is 20m by 30m. Do I need a PTZ with Varifocal for this on each floor? Or will a super high MP night vision cam will do? I have 3 floors I need to watch.
Requirement 3:
There's an open space in this warehouse 3 floors high, I'd like to place a camera I can move and zoom as I need to look at specific things. If possible also to trigger it by having the other cameras as a spotter of sorts (I'll do the programming necessary for this)
Requirement 4:
Far from my house is a box where my fiber connects to. Someone/something is disconnecting my line at 1AM and I wanna see who it is. I'm thinking an outdoor cam with varifocal lens that auto zooms in on motion detect also adjust focus on zoom to see who or what it is ( I know blueiris can do it).
My budget will be around 1000 USD (Converted including shipping). Minus the cost of a 8 port POE switch maybe 800USD max.
I live in a third world country hence the absurd requirements and situations...
I have an email thread with Andy from EmpireTech but I don't want to just bombard someone with absurd requirements before buying. Any assistance or tips or direction is deeply appreciated.
