I have no experience with cameras, so to simplify choice I am fallowing https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware which recommend brands:
Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order
I was trying to choose camera based on filters for listing cameras in official shops, but oh my... it works so bad.
purpose and conditions:
I) mix of conditions
-
PoE. I already have PoE cables in right places outside of the house wall.
-
I want to monitor house 10-20m around. Small yard.
-
I want to have camera in shape resistant for spiders web, for example Turret / Dome are resistant.
-
I want to have detection and recognition, but almost for sure using Software System instead of camera build in. I have Home Assistant. Maybe Frigate then? No idea.
-
5x cameras, but at least one of them in front has to be really good about recognition and night vision.
I|) recognition:
-
car plates
-
faces / people
-
potentially objects like someone moved trash can, but this can be hard
II|) detection:
-
people in area
-
animals in area
-
car in area
In gerall all brand have so much not user friendly camera choice I finally ended up with UniFi and Reolink as only two with readable cameras list.
Any difference for Bullet vs Turret for front camera face detection purpose?
