New home build going up and a few weeks away from getting ethernet installed. Will be installing myself. Home is on an 18 acre lot, private road with few neighbors and few traffic. Wooded lot with a few acres cleared. Moving from a congested area and want some camera coverage for a few objectives:
1. ID People or cars coming in the driveway to the best of our ability
2. General yard views, watch the dogs when they are outside, wildlife, etc,
3. Package view for porch
4. Whatever entryway coverage I can get, main doors primarily.
Accessibility to the house is only available from the front, unless someone is going to hike through the woods to come from sides or back. Roofline is about 10' from lowest part, fairly tall from gable ends ~18'. Walls are precast concrete, gable ends framed. Its a slab on grade with vaulted through most so adding ethernet later will be cumbersome, but still possible. Trying to get locations wired for current and potential future needs to try and save me some hassle!
Cams 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 I was originally considering the dual/180 degree cams: IPC-Color4k-T180. I figured they would be decent for the general viewpoints, understanding they wont be useful for ID'ing people most likely.
Not sure on Cam 1...
Likely need to add a couple of longer focal lengths for pointing at the driveway/road entry area. Maybe a couple of repositioned or different cameras for the entryway doors..,.
Open to any/all suggestions or comments.
