    Feedback on DORI-based Camera Selection (Front Door & Garage) - Did I Overkill or Misunderstand?

    Hi, @mat200 @EMPIRETECANDY @bigredfish Any other camera recommendation that I can easily find in Europa, instead of the IPC-HFW5442H-ZHE? Thanks for assisting me.

    I'm looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the Dahua IPC-HFW5442H-ZHE (approx. 750 Euro). Can you recommend a Dahua model that still features a Motorized Vari-focal lens and 4MP resolution but sacrifices some of the advanced features I wouldn't need? Planning on using Frigate with...

    Feedback on DORI-based Camera Selection (Front Door & Garage) - Did I Overkill or Misunderstand?

    Thanks for the reply and insights. It's a single family home and fence hopping is not really a concern. So start with a camera on the frontdoor would be the first place to start. Would a doorbell camera also work, I do have a traditional doorbell with 12vac transfo in place?

    Feedback on DORI-based Camera Selection (Front Door & Garage) - Did I Overkill or Misunderstand?

    @bigredfish I have taken a different approach now, instead of focusing on the minimal required camera's, I have indicated the areas that need covering and possible points for camera's. Based on what I understand: camera 1: 5442TM-ASE - Identification camera 2: leaning towards 5442TM-ASE -...

    Thanks for breaking down the options. I agree that the dual-camera solution provides the most reliable coverage. My hesitation on the garage is simply what is diagonal across from it: the back door/backside of the house and next to the house is the drive way. This area is a high priority...

    Feedback on DORI-based Camera Selection (Front Door & Garage) - Did I Overkill or Misunderstand?

    Thank you for the detailed feedback and the reality check on the 8MP sensor ratios and the DORI metrics. Given the geometry of the 17m long view and the reality that one fixed camera cannot do both jobs: I am ready to commit to two cameras for the driveway if needed, but I need guidance on the...

    Feedback on DORI-based Camera Selection (Front Door & Garage) - Did I Overkill or Misunderstand?

    Thanks for your reply. I must admit, I'm now even more confused! I appreciate the high-level recommendations, but separating the goals and introducing specialized cameras has made the initial choice a lot more complicated. In the initial thread, I have added a floorplan image to show the exact...

    I've been going down the rabbit hole and trying to apply the DORI methodology for my camera selections, with a specific focus on achieving Identification at my critical choke points. I've read and tried to understand the core concepts in these two threads: The Importance of Focal Length over...
