[QUOTE="GeoffT, post: 560910, member: 38201"] We ideally need to see the street from the viewpoint your camera will have. What are you looking to cover? The entrance, the front door, parking space(s)? There are several web sites that give an idea of different cameras, lenses and the angle of view they offer. [URL]https://www.security.org/security-cameras/[/URL] is one such. I covered our previous front drive with a 4K Hikvision hardwired network camera and it was sufficient to resolve faces and vehicle registrations easily. For night time I never got on with dome cameras with built-in IR illumination as aging of the plastic and internal reflections conspired to blot out anything worthwhile. If night vision is a priority consider a separate IR illuminator. Instead of a DVR I used an ancient Mac Mini and Security Spy software. Much more flexible than a DVR and with many more useful facilities. We had a well-reported Bitcoin robbery in our small village (family held hostage until the trader capitulated) and the police were grateful for my recorded footage of the street scene, though not sure it helped.
