Advice required on suitable indoor POE dome cameras

[ReverendPaul 0]

Hi everybody

 

Apologies in advance to the lengthy post.

 

I'm looking to buy two POE dome cameras for internal use. They would be fixed to monitor a front and a back door and they would be positioned about 2-3 metres from the doors. I would like the cameras to be motion activated.

 

For the moment my budget will not stretch to buying a NVR but this may be an option later on. I have a Lenovo NAS on which I would be able to set up some kind of recording. Ideally I would like to be able to monitor via an Android app as well.

 

I appreciate that I'm not asking for much

 

I hoping that someone here will be to advise, as I have done some research but every camera I think may be suitable appears to be for outdoor use and is a bit bulky. Truthfully, I don't have a clue which camera would be suitable, which is why I'm here asking for advice from folks who know a lot more about these things than I do.

 

I already have a Netgear POE switch and have the CAT5e cables all ran in position ready to connect to cameras.

 

To summarise, my requirements would be (a big ask):

 

• • Indoor IP camera (ideally dome/mini dome)
    POE (ideally wireless as well but not essential)
    2-3 metres fixed position from the doors
    3-4 Megapixel (I'm not sure if this is required with close range, very happy to take advice on this)
    HD1080p (I'm not sure if this is required with close range, very happy to take advice on this)
    Day/Night vision
    Audio
    Which lens required? (2.5mm, 4mm etc.)

 

Hikvision appear to be the ideal choice but again I am more than happy to take advice on this. Other makes that I have seen are Vivotek and Foscam.

 

Thank you in advance for all advice received.

No problem

 

I bought two Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IWS cameras from JDR Security (UK) https://jdrsecurity.co.uk/index.php/product/hikvision-ds-2cd2132f-iws/

 

I also bought brackets to mount them indoors - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B014ZXZPOI/ref=pe_385721_131992621_TE_dp_1

 

These cameras are great quality and are solidly constructed.

 

Cheers
