Hey guys, First time building a POE camera system. I’ve read through the wiki and cliff notes and have gathered a list of things I think I will need. I will be starting out with 3 cameras and will eventually build up to 8-10 cameras over time. As far as the cameras go, the first 2 cameras will be used for capturing motion but mainly for getting good images of anyone who does walk up to our door or driveway with low lighting coming from the garage coach lights. 3rd camera would be overlooking my front yard without any lighting. Would ideally be able to record license plates as well but that’s for another day. -Currently looking at 3 IPC-T2231T-ZS from Andy through Amazon along with 3 junction boxes. These will be pointed out towards street and driveway. -250ft of Cat5e cable from Monoprice -RJ45 connectors and boots -blue iris - WD Purple 4TB Surveillance Hard Drive an 8 port unmanaged POE switch from Netgear for $80 -any used HP Elitedesk or Dell Optiplex that I can find on eBay for under $200 that comes with i5 6500, 8gb of ram and Windows 10. Is there anything you would suggest I swap out or add? TIA
