We live pretty much in the woods with plenty of assorted wildlife around. I would like to run 2 cat 5 (or 6) cables as well as a low voltage pair out to a couple of trees. I created a clearing of sorts near where we have foxes den every year. I want to focus, no pun intended, on the clearing as its a natural pathway for the animals - recently there has been a bear there and we have deer, turkeys and a fisher cat (I have never seen) as well as the occasional coyote.
So. . . I am looking for suggestions for a camera. I prefer a 4K but have been thinking about a 1080p with PTZ. For lighting I am planning on using the low voltage wires (probably 14ga) to power several IR lighting units to really illuminate the area. I could use some direction here also.
The one thing I am absolutely sure of is I'm not the first user on this forum to do this and your experiences / suggestions would be very helpful.
