I know about the costco deals, I am trying to find someone with experience. The cameras with the IR Illuminators around the lens foul easily.
Probably going to run Blue Iris for the software and Network or Standard wired cameras.
Many 'pros' are recommending the Axis cameras which are around $200 each. I may go that route and start with two cameras and then upgrade as budget allows (I am also doing a full security system with 20 windows and 5 doors to cover.
Here is my layout:

blue are windows.
living room windows are about 5' x3' (HxW) and there are three of them in a row. Front door is here.
family room has 2'x3' windows, 2 on one wall and 1 one another. There are two french doors in this room.
Utility has a 3'x3' window.
The office has 2x3' windows. 2 on each of the outer walls. There is a door leading out here.
The 3 bedrooms have 3x4.5 windows with the master having 2 of them.
the one bathroom has a 2x3' window
The workshop has 4 4'x3' windows and a 'people' door. The windows are reinforced with 1/4" steel grating bolted through the studs. The door is the weak link here.
