I moved into my forever home and I'm ditching my old security camera in a box for something better. I'm rolling a Blue Iris box here soon (unless someone else convinces me otherwise for a different VMS). There are so many cameras and options I'm lost. I've spent a fair amount of time reading the guides/wiki here but I don't want to make the wrong call. Please look at these pictures and give me your best input.
Each picture is captioned. I'd like to eventually have people alerts and facial recognition when they get close with push notifications for IOS.
Basically I know I can get a 2MP starlight turret for the covered front door and be fine. What I don't know with the other two cameras is how I should plan to use each one. I'd like to have a "wide angle" overview of the house and yard, but at the same time I'd like to get alerts (vehicle, person, animal) if someone gets close to the house. I'd also like facial recognition software if they get to the door. I played with the planning tool but my house is so new it doesn't show up on the map.
What cameras am I looking for?
