    So, just to confirm: a 2MP - 1/2.8” camera is better than a 4MP+ - 1/2.8” camera, assuming all other variables are the same? Thanks so much

    There’s not much info on their website about how to get a newbie started as far as exactly how to connect what hardware to what. “Blue Iris for Dummies”

    My concern is not power consumption but my computer itself. I have all my stuff on there. I’d like to shut it off when I’m not actively using it.

    This is the NVR i have. https://d2zri47w41ywm3.cloudfront.net/downloads/security-nvr/N864/N864_Fusion_Series_datasheet_R3.pdf It says network bitrate 200 Mbps I’m not concerned leaving an NVR on all the time. I am concerned about leaving my computer on all the time.

    My only concern is the lack of hood. I believe the hood acts as a drip-edge like on house roofs. The water on the top of the camera will go on the hood will not go onto the lens. But on a turret, the water from the top of the camera slide down onto the lens. If I do BI/PC, will my computer...

    Can you link me to a write-up or video on how to use Blue Iris without a NVR? I assume I’m gonna need external hard drives somewhere?

    I cant find a bullet version. Are my lorex cameras good for anything? Keeping in mind they cost $80 compared to $160 Empire Tech.

    https://www.amazon.com/EmpireTech-Security-Starlight-Weatherproof-Detection/dp/B07S21FVC7 Is there a bullet version of this?

    So, I am re-shopping for cameras now. I see that Dahua also offers cameras that are in the RED on the ratio chart. Is that also purely marketing even though that are from a brand that people on IPCAMTALK like?

    Both Empire Tech and Dahua will work with Lorex NVR?

    Are PTZ settings considered "camera settings"? Regardless, I'd still be able to access my NVR via the Lorex App, whether mobile or on PC, right?

    Bullet vs Turret in the rain

    The NVR and my PC will all be on my home network. So I should be able to access the NVR through my PC and the Blue Iris program, right?

    The lorex camera you linked that I own, I paid $81. Their “sale” price. So my sensor/screen combo is not necessarily bad, it’s the zoom/focal length that determines how usable it can be for whatever situation? Or the 8MP - 1/2.8” is still bad. Should be 2MP - 1/2.8”? Which 2MP camera captured...

    I have only just started to install, nothing is up and running. I still have the packaging so I may return it and “buy twice cry once” I re-read your write up. I think this is the thing that us noobs dont understand at first: “One camera cannot be the be all, see all. Each one is selected for...

    That was NOT that long of a read. Very good write-up thank you. I will need to read it a couple more times to comprehend it all I do have 1 varifocal camera in position to read license plates. The specs are the same as the others I listed earlier, though.

    Bullet vs Turret in the rain

    Thank you that is a long read, I will read it later tonight. Regarding the 2 pictures posted above, you show a 8MP picture on a 2MP sensor (what I have) and a 8MP picture on a 8MP sensor. I assume that 8MP sensor is way out of my price range? Do you have an example of a 2MP picture on a 2MP sensor?

    So, is the hood useless? I have used Lorex in the past and it seemed easy enough for a DIYer. I’d like the highest resolution possible at a consumer level price. The description of those cameras say they “… use an 8MP image sensor that delivers exceptionally detailed 4K Ultra HD resolution...

    I will be mounting cameras to an exterior wall without roof cover. I noticed that bullet cameras have an adjustable hood/brim that goes above the lens. Turret cameras do not. i have already purchased the turret cameras but am contemplating exchanging for bullets. Both of the turrets and...
