Title: Need outdoor HD WiFi camera - I like D-Link!
Post by: rowdyplace on June 22, 2017, 10:26:29 AM
Setting up system to monitor condominium community drive-up garbage facility.  I need to monitor and record cars and small trucks that drive up (single lane) and dump trash. Camera will be setup to view entire rear of auto as well as entry portion of small building protecting large dumpster.

Replacing an old camera positioned approximately 25' away and mounted on a pole approximately 25 feet high.

Need optics quality to allow minimum facial blurring as well as ability to view license plate data (digital zoom after the fact).  Motion detection is part of the plan.  Currently own a DNR 202L recorder that I would like to use...

What is the best (least cost) camera for this?

TIA!

There maybe others that are wireless...I think business cameras are mostly wired.  ::)
