    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Alright I think I'm sold. Found a couple reviews threads here. Was initially worried about the sensor size for the newer 4MP version but seems other members are using it with success. My plan now is put the boobie above/near doorbell towards corner, aim one for facial recognition, aim one for...

    So with that boobie cam. I'm reading a few threads here on it now. It's basically just 2 cams in 1 run off the same POE line? Let's say I installed it near my doorbell which is perpendicular to my door. Could I say, aim 1 down the walk way to see approach and the other towards the doormat area...

    Where did you get the wedge cam? I see the newer one but it's 4MP with a 1/2.8" sensor where the one you have is 2MP with 1/2.8" sensor. Edit: Wait nevermind I think it was discontinued. Here's a dumb question. The 1 camera I have now is vari focal but how do I imitate 2.8mm vs 3.6mm? Just zoom...

    These are good reads. Thank you. I think ultimately, it'll be 3 cameras by nature because I plan to put a couple near garage which will naturally catch someone walking up to these 2 anyways. But your installs are clean. Thanks!

    This is about 5'8 high. Seems to capture faces well even if looking down. I like this but will need to make a decision on if it hanging a couple inches into doorframe will bother us or not. Doesn't feel too intrusive when walking in and out; doesn't feel like I'll knock into it. Going to try...

    Considered that, too. I might not need to reuse the hole though. When I peeped through the stucco behind doorbell, there's just an airgap between it and the block; no insulation. :facepalm: So might be pretty easy either way.

    @garycrist kind of like the tripod idea. Just using a long 2x6 right now and running a 100' premade flat cable out to it under the door until I find a spot. @bp2008 Yeah plant was a thought I had, too. Also, have bushes on other side now (pic is from when we bought house) but those are smaller...

    Yeah i really need to test a few locations. I didn’t consider the pole mount option but it may help in this situation. I like the idea of 2 cameras. I was considering doing the reolink doorbell cam the doorbell sub talks about a lot. Would probably need to raise the doorbell though. Either that...

    Got a used PC, Blue Iris, POE switch, bulk cable, etc. Planning for about 4-5 cameras have an idea on location but want to do one first before I move on. I bought a T54IR-ZE-S3 and a waterproof junction mount with the plan to hang it from the ceiling of my front door but now thinking I should...
