I currently have a cheap Nightowl 4 camera setup for home surveillance and I am no too happy with the quality of the picture, it's ok but I'd like to get more detail without breaking the bank.  I plan on making my own PC based Hybrid DVR running the Blue Iris software.  I want to reuse the cameras from the Nightowl system in addition I will purchase 3 ip cameras.  The cameras i want to purchase are the Vivotek ip8332 (2) and the Vivotek ip7330 (1).  The question I have is regarding the cameras field of view (FOV) and whether they will be able to see detail at distance.  The IP8332's will need to be able to see out to a distance of at least 60 ft with a FOV of 60 degrees in a diagonal direction, while the IP7330 will need to see out to 30ft with a FOV of 60 degrees in diagonal direction.  I have attached a MSpaint which hopefully shows what I am trying to do.  Thanks for the help
