Getting comfortable
Hi guys, building a new blue iris system with a friend for a single family house. They have Arlo now and it has missed a lot of important events. Including a recent bike robbery on the front porch.
Is there anything you would suggest we swap out or add? We are right on budget right now, but understand we may need to spend a bit more if my picks are wrong. We thought a 2MP is adequate over 4k bc it has better night vision (generally speaking) and playback is easier on the system. Requiring a more budget-friendly CPU and HD. But, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Picked the Dahua cameras bc of the flexibility of having the motorized lens, built in mic and good night vision. To optimize the camera angles and zoom once installed on the house.
