Thank you! All good ideas and insight. I like the lower corners approach since all along I was thinking high up in the eave peak looking down. For front door camera, I suppose a side view is acceptable? Here again I was considering the over door option looking down as well. I'm close to getting this going and will come back around with any other questions as this pretty basic set up comes together. Tom P.

Hello, First time post, thank you in advance for your thoughts about my system design idea below... System Goal: Provide "extra eyes" to the front of the house since our view that direction is limited. There's been vandalism and theft which has occurred multiple times in the neighborhood and would like to capture activity for replay later. Interests: 1) Start small in quantity but with great quality for later expansion. 2) My wife is disabled and home much of the time. Would like real-time viewing / control from her iPad if possible. 3) Remote alerts and viewing by Smart device (iPad/iPhone) when away. 4) Record and playback without complexity / efficiently. My thoughts to start: 1) Camera at "B" Position - At the peak looking over driveway. Maybe Hikvision = DS-2CD2732F-IS ? 2) Camera at "H" Position - Looking at entry and front porch / front door = maybe DS-2CD2532F-IWS ? 3) Camera at "I" Position - Maybe a PTZ covering up and down street and full rotation into entry area = ? Being a bit of a geek, can fixed 1) or 2) trigger the 3) PTZ to track movement all the way to the front door? Attached is an overview with measurements and an actual front photo of our house. Thanks!
