So I'm looking to install a few (3-5) outdoor cameras for my new home. All of these would be mounted outdoors, likely on the overhang of my house. I live in northern Maine, so they must be able to withstand a bit of cold weather,rain,etc.
I really like the idea of "single wire installation", so I'm leaning heavily towards RJ-45/PoE cameras. Unless I am missing something that seems to be the way to go. All of these cameras will be connected to a Windows PC runnig Blue Iris. This is for general security purposes, so Infrared is important. Motorized not necessary, but they must be pretty easy to re-point. If the motorized cameras are < $25 more, that is worth it to me.
Anyone have any recommendations for a Weatherproof, PoE IP Camera that won't break the bank and work well with Blue Iris? This is my first CCTV setup, so cheaper is better. I can always upgrade later.
