2. DS-2CD2142FWD-IS domes for front & rear doors + inside the garage (mix of 4mm & 6mm)

Any other suggestions before I support the economy?

Likewise, undecided on NVR vs using my old PC (~5yrs old)+PoE switch. Anyone have experience using both?
I think you'll be OK using 4mm cams outside (are you using 6mm because you want to monitor something in the distance?). However, 4mm amd 6mm is too much for front and rear doors. It won't work in the garage. I have a 4mm watching my rear door and deck. The rest is all 2.8mm.
