Requesting help picking out a camera for front door (w/ pic)

Recommended Posts

I want to put a camera to monitor people walking up to my front door.

 

I am thinking either a dome camera on the ceiling in the upper right hand corner or a peephole type camera in the wall to the right. My concern with the dome camera is that I don't know what to look for that would give me good field of view so close to the door and with the peephole I don't know if they provide good enough quality.

 

I currently have IP cameras, but this camera can be either IP or some other connection, as long as I can connect it to my zoneminder pc using some type of card.

 

Price wise, I'm hoping to keep it under 200 or possibly up to 300.

I'm thinking the Dahua 1.3 MP for $200 or the CNB VBM 24 VF analog camera. The CNB has a nice wide FOV and would be a decent choice for that area. Seems like you're going to need an analog card on the PC though. If you keep the light on I'd go for the Dahua

Thank you! I will look into both of those. The light is actually a motion light.
