Hello – looking for suggestions on an outdoor camera. We live in a small neighborhood at a dead end and there’s been issues with people parking across the street from our house for unknown reasons. From what we’ve witnessed likely drug dealing or drop offs. There’s been a car stolen from a neighbor.
A few nights ago we called non emergency about a car. We know all of our neighbors and they don’t get visitors at 11pm. The cars also park in a spot that’s not in front of a house. They hung out in the dark for a bit. Down the street a car flashed it’s lock lights, and they both drove off.
Cops told us a neighboring development had a break in Saturday where the guy just went in and went to each bedroom to watch people. He took nothing.
So. We want a camera to deter but also aid us and our neighbors if ever needed. Our garage has a view of the turnaround and directly across from our driveway is where people park.
(For some reason imgur has labeled this as an 18+ image, it’s a screen shot of our street on maps)
Red is where we would place it.
-
It needs to withstand temps down to -30f or close to that. We live in a far north US state.
-
No limit on cost
-
Good distance and night vision with moving vehicles and people
-
we can hardwire electric but Ethernet would be tricky. From what I’ve seen this sub is lukewarm on WiFi cameras but we’d like to try to stick with that. Open to other suggestions though.
-
able to add more to the system later
-
has an app, we travel often for work
Thank you!!
