I am ready to purchase my first 3 cameras. I have 3 parts of my property I would like to start with. I attached a few pictures from a GoPro at wide angle to help with frame of reference
Please can y'all help me decide which three cameras I should start with? I'm leaning towards Hikvision since that seems to be the camera of choice for most beginners.
I'd also like to be able to see license plates from the same cameras.

All three would be protected under coverings. I have the ability to run POE, although I wouldn't mind them also being WiFi capable for future projects.

- View of the covered back patio and the pool. Camera is shielded from the elements under a patio covering
- View the cars and the garage entrance. Camera will only be shielded by a light overhang from the roof. Not sure if there will be any direct sunlight.
- View of the front door, with also being to see the mailbox and the intersection. Should be sufficiently shielded
