After recent attempted break ins on my close I am looking to add some CCTV cameras to the property. I have a background in electrical/computing and especially networking so am comfortable doing the install and setup my self and I have a contact who can source the HikVision equipment however I am looking for some help to confirm the correct cameras for my needs.
The property is a 4 bed detached and initally I am looking to install 3 cameras with a view to adding a fourth pretty soon after. I am looking for good coverage at night and the ability to get alerts when movement is detected at night. The area has very little footfall or traffic.
I have attached a picture showing the layout of the property. I think the two main cameras a ColorVu 2.8mm Turret would be ideal however the third camera is where I am unsure. The frondoor is set back 30 inches from the front face of the house and is also covered by a wooden porch /canopy. I would like to mount a camera above the door or under the canopy that would give a good image of anyone approaching and standing at the front door. not sure if a turret would be too close to the subject. I have seen some recommendation for some mini Domes but not sure about these.
I would be looking at going for either a 4 or 8 ch HikVision NVR. Again if there was a specific model I should be looking at I would appreciate some advice. I think a 4TB HDD would give me 2 weeks recording.
Any other advice or guidance would be appreciated. On the picture the conservatory is now an extension with BiFolds on the front elevation with a Patio now running down right of the garden to the end. Once this is up and running I would be adding a camera above the bifold doors
Thanks
