I am hoping someone can give me some advice on a few outdoor IP POE dome cameras to hang under our soffits. I have run cat6 to the locations we want cameras so now I am just trying to hone in on the best cameras for my needs.
I would like lower profile cameras with good resolution (at least 1080p but preferably 4K) and I would be interested in PTZ cameras, but I am hoping to stay under ~$200 or so per camera so maybe I'll have to be happy with fixed. Ideally I would like the cameras to be able to host their own web page and be viewed (and controlled if PTZ) without requiring a DVR or any proprietary equipment. However, I do need the option of integrating with a DVR as well as with an OPII if possible. Any finally, all else being equal I prefer to stick with the more well known companies in the industry such as Speco, Flir, Lorex, etc... if possible.
Three of the cameras are for near-field viewing of our driveway and yards with maybe 75-100' being the farthest out I'd need it to see. However, I also need one camera to look out over a range of about 1/3 to 1 mile off of our deck with maybe a 45-60 degree field of view.
I should also mention that I am going to have a Ring Elite doorbell so if I can somehow integrate the camera and doorbell into the same "system" to some degree it would be the icing on the cake.
Any advice on what specific cameras/DVR/system I might want to look at?
Thanks for any advice,
Matt
