Security Camera Setup

Recommended Posts

Hello all, look for advice and information on what route I should take on a camera system install.

 

Here are the basics:

- just moved into a new row home in Philadelphia so I only have a front door and garage door in the back. I am in a community so I am not too concerned with the garage side.

- I have wired a Ring Pro doorbell to the front door in the meantime

- I have Ubiquiti Unifi products for my home network using Cat6 (I can run more Cat6 to the cameras so that is not a problem)

- HOA will not let me mount the cameras directly to the brick on the front of the house so I will need to get creative on how to mount them

 

Wants:

- monitor my front door and sidewalk in both directions. My front door is about 5-6 feet away from the sidewalk and elevated with a couple steps to the landing. A single camera above the door will only capture the entryway and sidewalk directly in front of the door so I think I will need three cameras.

- something high-end that will work flawlessly

- be able to view my cameras remotely

- continuous recording (maybe up to a week?)

- NVR system

 

Questions:

- What systems should I be looking at? Hikvision? Ubiquiti?

- What cameras should I be looking for? Bullet? Dome? Need something that is HD at all lengths and does a good job at night as well

- What are the different mount capabilities?

- What other questions should I be asking myself and what else should I be considering?

 

Any other information or guidance in the right directions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!
