Recommendations for IP cameras & NVR?
« on: May 11, 2023, 05:11:32 PM »
Hi!

This is for *indoors* in a residential building, just for the hallways. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I did research and those do seem to be the best, but they're also the most expensive.

They also don't have the best software out of the box

Thanks, but those aren't IP cameras and they're not even the best WiFi Cameras by far

What type of budget do you have? How many cameras do you need, what quality? What is the network configuration, gbe+? How much storage do you need, a day, week, month?

Yes thanks, but I have one place with them and they really dislike the software. Dislike may be the wrong word, because it would connote a working software. It doesn't work..

I get the overall point, but not really a concern. You can run it using blue iris or some other third party software, so they won't have access to the data.

Just one general recommendations, in this situation doesn't need to be very high quality. Would love to hear recommendations across all storage sizes,  though, since you can swap the hard drive in an NVR or computer, I'm certain it's not really a difference maker.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Hikvision or UniView cheaper and great cameras with a great system
