I live in a rural area, around 3,500ft elevation, mountainy region. Weather can change very rapidly, winds can be high (so it can rain and snow almost horizontally at times...)
I was considering installing camera(s) on the roof, taking advantage of a TV/weather station mast I already have up there. It would be about about 3-6ft above the roof, around 20ft above ground.
I don't care about particularly high resolution, high fps, night vision, etc. for this application. I was thinking of the cheapest semi-reliable cameras, and was wondering:
Any suggestions / insights more than welcome, as also suggestions on what camera brand/model may be suitable based on experience.
For the rest of my more critical cameras I have a mix of Dahua / Hikvision 4mp cameras, and few older lower spec cameras in the process of being replaced.
Thanks

- 4 x 90° field of view?
- 2 x 180° field of view?
- What about best format for mounting on poles? Bullet vs turret, etc.
- Small form factor (for offering less resistance when the wind picks up)
