I take its best to mount the camera on the ground floor so I dont get the tops of peoples heads?
Do I need IP cameras?

when it brakes in 4 years time, take it back for a full refund and buy a new model (happened twice now, never expected a refund either)

any idea on the make?

any idea what focal length camera id want or how i could work it out what i needed to mount a camera under the front window to point to drive

any NVR recommendations around the £100-£200 mark?
Camera wise have been looking at the Hikvision - they seem to get rave reviews and are very well priced.

Ive used the unfi wifi gear and it's spot on havent tried the cam's though but they are well priced

going back to my original picture - i was going to start off by buying 1 camera and mount it under the front window by the left light. The distance roughly from that window to middle of the drive is 10-12 feet. What mm lens would you advise. Il eventually get a 2nd cam on the drive and maybe one in the porch.
