First time poster here - glad I found this site. I know enough to be dangerous about technology.
I need to set up PTZ cameras on a building a building to view a parking lot. Ideally 3-4 cameras. I have had quotes to install professionally for as much as 20,000 which is absurd.
Here is what need / challenges:
-Remote view and PTZ control from android device / computer. Parking lot is another state.
-DVR somewhere - whether cloud based or onsite
-I do not have access to wifi (would a cellular wifi monthly hot spot device work for this set up?)
-would rather NOT run cables for cameras - I WILL have power available at each location.
-Do not have to bullet proof over the top cameras. A dome and a mount would work.
-if PTZ is not the best option, what would be?
-want to do it as clean and low cost as possible - but not break the next week cheap.
Thanks!!!
