Hi! I have been browsing the forums for quite some time and am decently tech savvy with audio/video things, but this surveillance and security camera world is a LOT! There are SO many products that I need a bit of guidance trying to set up a specific system. We live on a bigger property and parts that have zero connectivity/power around. What I am looking to do with an addition to our surveillance system is to have a camera at two entrances (that have zero power and are about 2 acres away from the main system we have....it does not have to connect to the current system, because I'm not super happy/pleased with it to begin with and would also love recommendations about changing this out too). For both cameras at each entrance, I would LOVE to have a notification to my phone to alert me that someone/something has crossed the path, and then to be able to pull up the camera feed on my phone, and voice back to it to communicate. Reason 1) Package deliveries. We get a lot of people that deliver and need a signature, but no-one goes to the work of actually ringing out front doorbell to alert us that they are there. They knock on the garage, no answer, and just leave. Reason 2) We have had a few items taken from our yard and have found the chain to the gate (far away, Zero power/internet there) cut and dangling. I'd love to know when someone comes in and can confront them virtually while I start driving there. For my in-home system, I use an IC Realtime setup that I can monitor remotely through an app. The thing I don't like about it is there is no 2 way talk feature, the audio recording sucks, and without physically moving the cameras, I can't pan/swivel/change the viewpoint. We have their 16 channel 1U NVR with 16 port POE, with IPMX-W20F-IRW2, IPMX-E20F-IRW2, and IPFX-B20V-IRW2 cameras. indoor/outdoor bullet and dome cameras. Is there a system that can do this? I'm down two boats and two trailers in a little over a month, so I'd love to find the culprits. Thanks for any help you can give! Chris
