Struggling with picking a camera
Hi folks.
I'm really struggling to pick a camera, atm I have 9 cameras, they are all old analogue dome cameras. One of them has died so I need to replace it. The good news is the original installer used ethernet cable and is just shunting the analogue signal and 12V down it. So I can unplug it, put RJ45's on the end, and use PoE. Yay.
- Must be PoE of course
- Is to be used with Frigate
- My house is set back from the street, but I also have neighbours, so cameras that require the flood lights to run at night are probably a no-go? But perhaps cameras that have IR night vision and can switch to white light / color night vision when an object is detected could be good?
- The camera that has died is covering a driveway, 25 meters long. It's mounted up high on the house
- The existing cameras are all turret cameras, but I'm not opposed to changing that if there are benefits to doing so
- I don't think I need features like PTZ or Zoom
- Must be purchasable in the UK, ideally from Amazon but that's optional.
- My budget is up to £200
Feel free to ask questions if I've missed anything above, hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction. Thanks :)
