    How often do you directly access NVR ?

    Exporting video to a USB flash drive. No way would I ever put a NVR in an attic...between hot and cold the temperatures are just too extreme. Even a POE switch would be iffy.

    Subtle LPR camera in an urban/suburban area?

    You could certainly use a PTZ with a long zoom to do it, but then you lose the versatility of using the PTZ for other things. I saw some pics on here a couple years ago of someone hiding a PTZ up in a soffit. If you can hide a bullet camera behind a gutter it might be a good use case. I used to...

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    A lot of the cameras will allow you to flip the camera to corridor mode in the camera GUI. Better to do it there than the NVR if the camera supports it. You're probably better off with a 3.6mm lens anyway, as the minimum in-focus distance is going to be higher with a 6mm lens than a 3.8mm lens.

    Battery to run camera 24/7 and simply replace battery?

    Maybe something like this? It might be too small for your needs but if you can set up the solar panels, you might be able to run with just them depending on your power needs.

    Becoming a Cop?

    Don't bother, unless you're looking to do just ten years and be done. Even then there's a myriad of reasons why you'd quit before then ten year mark. Unless someone REALLY wants to be a career cop and ends up in a great department, typically what happens is around year eight they want out, but...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I bought a black Reolink POE doorbell more than six months ago that I never installed. That one might end up at my back door and a new white one with the 3:4 aspect ratio may end up at my front door. :lmao:
