Hello to all and I'm a new member looking for some help with camera and NVR selection. I'm not new to installing cameras and security systems. It's been some years but I've done some installs on some commercial properties that I own. Looking for a relatively simple and maintenance free system that I can access and monitor from my home. Need to be able to watch over my family and belongings when I'm away. Looking for brands ands models. I don't want to spend a bunch of money but don't want junk either. Here's what I got.
I've built a home on a large rural lot and need some solid cameras and NVR. We will be installing an NVR in the basement of the home right under camera 2 location. I'm in a pretty secluded area and can use some eyes on the premises. The grounds also do not have any lighting so cameras that have IR will be needed. I'd like to use all cameras that run on POE as I'll be pre wiring the house. Included a drawing and would like you to take a look and give me your recommendations. All the measurements are in feet. Camera locations are marked with an circled x with a camera number and what it's going to do. I'll explain of each location.
Camera 1
The driveway is very long and I'd like to get a motion camera here that records any vehicles coming into the main driveway. The camera location will be 50 feet to the center of the driveway. This camera will be mounted on a pole. Not sure how high yet and can also use a recommendation. I'm going to run two cat5e cables to this pole underground in conduit.. In the future I may mount another camera here which points towards the house.
Camera 2
This camera is going to be mounted on the front corner of home to scan the front of the home and driveway area.
Camera 3
This camera will be looking at the rear patio and rear door/slider
Camera 4
This camera will overlook the rear/side of the home and the back door of the garage
Camera 5
This camera will be mounted on the corner of the garage and overlook the front of the home and will cross vision the other camera at the other corner overlooking the front door.
Camera 6
This is the difficult camera. This one will also be on a pole which height needs to be determined. I would like to place this angle on an angle so it both overlooks the driveway and is motion activated by vehicles crossing the driveway 60 feet away. I would also like this camera to overlook the barn which is 267 feet away. I know I'm not going to het a good image that far but would really like to just get a decent image to overlook the garage doors. I was thinking about putting a seperate camera system out there but think if I have just one camera to overlook this are with a decent image. I understand night quality photos will be non existent this far away. We will also be running conduit and two cat5e cables to this pole. I may want to add another camera overlooking the home in the future.
