So we had a slight scare. The amenity center right down the street almost got broken into. Wife and Daughter saw someone trying to break in and called the law.
So after that I need to get at least one camera rollin for the driveway.
The NVR is going in the Garage on the rack. As for the camera of choice since there are no street lights I am gonna use a Hikvision ColorVu IP camera. It’s not so much of having color night vision but it’s too dark for proper IR. With IR it would be tunnel vision and believe it or not the ColorVu series works great even if the light is off at night.
The camera I will be using for the Driveway is a low end model that comes from a Value Series Kit. Works well if paired with a K series or M series Hikvision NVR but I don’t have either one. I have a Dahua NVR. So as usual I’ll just have the Camera on the network and forward the video to the NVR. This way I can have full control of the Camera and change it’s settings.
