Put four cam's high for overview wide picture and four cameras low for recognition as mentioned , and stick few more up around will look hardcore

nah...

Honeywell RSS software works with the G2 panels. It can connect via PSTN, IP (if the panel has an IP module fitted) or by a plug in programming lead that connects directly to a header on the G2 PCB. It will be a pain manually collecting the information every few months and the G2 only has a 384 event FIFO. Providing that the triggers are enabled in the panel, an ARC or self monitoring with SIA or Microtech will have set/unset with username. If you can get one to provide a 1 month summary via e-mail for free, then it sounds like the best option.

As above, high isn't usually a good thing for recognition; it's often a typical sign of a DIY domestic setup TBH.

I don't like Hik, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hard to tell from the picture but positioning looks ok. Bear in mind the higher you go the less chance you have of getting facial images.
