Hi Everyone. This is my first time getting cameras for the house. I'm looking into just getting 4 cameras for outdoor only. My son walks home from school and just want to give my wife a peace of mind that we can watch remotely when he gets home.
I've been reading on the forums and decided to go with Blue Iris. I already ordered a refurbished Elitedesk G2 i5-6600.
I would like to get 2 cameras for the front of the house and 2 for the back. One on each side. Here's my checklist:
x1 Turret style for front door.

x3 Bullet style - back door and corners of house

See attached photos of the house. I highlighted where I think it's best. The one for the front door would be the only one not getting wet. I figured the 2.8mm turret would work best there since it's a tight space. I couldn't find a better picture for the back but the rear door is approx. 5ft away from left highlighted area.
Am I missing anything? Is there any other suggestions or changes I should make?
Thank you
