Stumbled in here looking for advice on a Christmas Gift

OK, sounds like we might have a plan.

Fire 7 = $30 Bummer the Fire HD 8 went back up to $50 while I was debating
Cat 6 Cables (can get from a friend)
POE injector $16
Dahua Starlight $150
tinycampro app for android $4

That puts me right at $200 without much shopping around, not including taxes.

I realize some things are not 'ideal', I really want to see how this goes and how they react to what they have before investing much more, but I could see coming back to put in an NVR, more cameras, etc.

Any last comments? Really appreciate folks' input and advice

$50.00 for the fire 8 is the sale price, it normally starts at $79.

This would be the recommended model for outdoor placement?

Yes, and the other cam you listed is not an IP cam.
You can order from @EMPIRETECANDY and have in 3-5 days if its in stock. And will cost less.
