Hello,
Im in the market for a few cameras right away, maybe a black Friday or cyber Monday deal can help me out. I honestly don't know much about them, but here is what I think im after
Camera #1 - Driveway camera, Dome, Can be mounted on either side of my garage (36' wide), at 10-11', with the driveway being 36' wide, and 55' long.
- im guessing 6-12mm lens, or varifocus
Camera #1s mounting can be moved to either side of garage, or in a peak at about 18' in the center of driveway
Camera #2 - Garage Man Door Camera, Dome (preferable for not knowing where its aimed), looking at a door ~ 20-25' Away. This can be focused right in. So again maybe 20-25' Away
Camera #3 - Font door camera, mounted 12' above door, and about 15' above grade. Looking down. Single pot light there above porch. Looking towards camera #1 location. Which would be 30' away
Id like each to have
720-1080P, pref on 1080+, id love to be able to ID a thief or tresspasser
IP
IR (though camera 1, and 3, will have pot lights near them, which may cause an issue if left on?
IP66
Do I need heat and fans? I see -20 to 30C most winter days, -40C for about 2 weeks, and rarely -45 to -50C. usually a day or two a winter. In the summer, I normally see 25 to 30C on average, and peak summer is around 34-36C. I can see 15-20C temperature swings in 24hrs, morning cold, day warm, night cold again.
I have coax, Cat6, and 4C18 at each location I have pulled, but have conduits and access to my roof for more cable if needed.
Id like them to be compatible with the following;
Haiku (currently vanilla, but I do plan to buy a mac, and helper)
Synology Diskstation 1813+ (my NAS, and will be my DVR)
I will consider PTZ, but I think I can get more done with more cameras.
I currently have a 24 port 10/100/1000 unmanaged switch. So connections are ample
I think vanilla im stuck with MJPEG cameras. If I go helper, I think I could take H.264
Any recommendations. I don't mind spending a bit of money, but I don't want to piss it away either. Id like to keep it under 2000 for the 3 cameras. Though obviously if I can do it for 1200 or so (depending on what I actually need), that would be great.
