I've decided to upgrade my old and crummy NTSC analog cams with some IP cams, and would appreciate some assistance selecting a model. My proposed setup:
- 5x domes
- outdoor
- good price / performance
- ideally $100 / cam or less
- POE required (will be powered and connected to rack mounted POE switch)
- SD card unnecessary
- PTZ unneeded
- indifferent about audio
- Blue Iris to manage in a VM
- Server running Blue Iris is a beast, no hardware or storage issues
- typical usage: general purpose home security for single family residence.
- I'm very tech savvy (if that's relevant). Just need some pointers sifting through the huge list of cameras.
- I understand why 2MP cameras perform better at night, but am unsure whether the added benefits outweigh the additional image sizes realized during the day. I completely defer to the crowd for assistance.
