Hi All,

I am looking to install some PoE Cameras around my house and was wondering what the best setup would be. I dont need the most expensive option but would like something that has good quality cameras and an easy to use interface to notify me of activity. I see a lot of post about Reolink but am open to all options.

Besides just standard areas I have some places that I would place a camera that would be higher up (25+ft) or further away and would need something with good zooming capability. I read about Dual-lens cameras being good for that but wasn’t sure if there were better options. I want these cameras to be able to identify someone and not just for deterrence. I had a system before and when my car was broken into i could barely make out a face.

I also was unsure if I should use any video management system. Again, I hear a lot of people talk about Bule Iris but again not sure if that is a good option. I want something that will provide me with alerts when there is motion, will have some actual recognition and be able to tell the difference between animals vs people vs motion, easy user interface and a mobile application so I can check/be alerted on things when I am out.

Any suggestions would be great and thanks for the help!
