Please recommend cameras for this BI setup

[mnemonik23]

Hi,

I finally decided to go with Blue Iris and would like your suggestions on the good but not overly expensive cameras that will fit the following requirements:

- good video recording quality (day and night)
- trigger a motion alert and send notification via iPhone app
- trigger a noise alert and send notification via iPhone app
- watch live feeds on iPhone

I plan to have ~6 cameras with the following PC setup:

i7-6700T, 16GB RAM, SSD+WD Purple, Win 10


Thanks!

I've seen these suggested a lot lately...

Only negative was the IR attracting bugs. Most have suggested shutting off the cameras IR and using separate IR illuminators.

Ouch, I did not even think about possible issue with IR attracting bugs!

The IR on the turret is least affected by spiders.

I'm not opposed to a separate IR illuminator unit if anybody can recommend one that has some "low profile" or like a rectangular, longer shaped...

Two side by side are even more rectangular.
