    Thinking about 6-camera Axis setup

    Hi everyone - been looking between Wisenet and Axis. I basically have a six camera setup - two cameras (#1 and #5 below) have to cover larger distances, the other ones have fairly small distances. For those two cameras, it would be helpful to be able to set up some analytics to block out areas...

    Blue Iris on an eBay with standard MB

    I think I'll just buy a SFF and stick the Mobo in a rack case with zip ties and not sweat it too much. Stupid but cheap.

    Blue Iris on an eBay with standard MB

    So starting to plan for home security and was thinking about an i5 based system. We will have 6-8 cameras, probably 2MP Hikvisions or similar (for better nightvision).

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)

    So, if I get a map of my house, is there an easy way to map coverage and make sure I am getting the right cameras for the right locations?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Bullet Z5 7-35mm (IPC-HFW5231E-Z5)

    So comparing to the other available cams: 1. The Z12 has a wider range of zoom available so may be more flexible for placement, right? 2. Is there a turret style coming with similar zooms to the Z5/Z12? 3. What about an LXIR/EXIR version?
