Recommendation for outdoor surveillance solution needed

[johncalli 0]

I am looking to install 1-2 cameras to monitor my backyard. I am thinking about installing the cameras under the roof/eaves - sort of like what's shown here:

I am looking for a solution which meets most (or ideally all) these requirements:

 

• High quality outdoor camera which is weatherproof and robust

• Stable operation at low temperature (20-30F) as well as high temperature (90-100F)

• DVR with storage for at least 30 days of continuous recording so that it's possible to go back and view recordings by date/time

• Video recordings must contain audio as well

• Ability to enable/disable motion detection

• Ability to define "motion detection areas" in the recording view

• Extremely good night vision

• High quality audio/video recording

• Ability to remotely adjust view (tilt, zoom)

• Access to DVR Web UI over an IP network (wired and wireless)

• Ability to view audio/video recordings via DVR Web UI on PC or phone

• Ability to view real-time camera feed from PC or phone

• Ability to configure trigger/alert notifications

• Intuitive and easy-to-use interface

 

 

I am not looking to spend thousands of dollars, but probably somewhere between $500-$1000 (including installation by a pro).

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks.

I'd suggest adjusting your budget expectations. You want installation by a pro? Plan on $500. for site visit, install wiring, setup cameras and config of NVR, PC's, mobile devices, etc..

 

Why do you think you need PTZ cameras? Do you expect to need to repoint the cameras often? I think you'll find it's better to install more cameras instead of PTZ cameras, or perhaps varifocal cameras would be adequate?

 

A possible set of analog equipment might be:

 

Hik DS-7204HGHI-SH-3TB DVR ~ $360.

DSC DLT20ABW-V -1080P cam ~ $130. ea

DSC DST2DIV ~ cam $50. ea.

DSC DPWR5A pwr supply + connectors & cable ~ $100.

 

A pro might tell you to not bother with analog and suggest doing it 'right' with a NVR and IP cameras (which would cost even more).

 

Hope that helps or at least gives you some ideas for your project.
