    Looking for affordable NVR, POE not needed 4-6 cameras

    I'm wondering if by buying an NVR with POE ports I'm essentially paying for a feature I won't use, and can instead pay for other features I may find more useful.

    Looking for affordable NVR, POE not needed 4-6 cameras

    Hi I'm slowly building my system with Dahua based cameras, and I'm trying to narrow down my choices for NVR. I do not need POE because I have more than enough ports on a 24 port POE switch. I also prefer not to go the BI route, and rather have dedicated hardware (less features, less that can...

    How to setup a Dahua IP camera without NVR (and change camera ip)

    @Stavros99 question, are you recording to onboard SD card? Or not recording at all?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    How do I measure IDENTIFY distance? I measure a line from the camera installation point to the farthest angle I want to be able to IDENTIFY?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    @wittaj thanks for your assistance until now, I would like to buy one ET camera for my driveway/front yard as a test. If it isn't too much to ask, can you help me with a list of questions I should answer about the location and my needs in order for to be able to make a model recommendation?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    Great!! This will allow me to enjoy the camera before investing in an NVR! Is there a thread discussing highly recommended SD card models in the 256-512gb range?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    Can I connect using an app directly to the camera on a LAN for live view and playback from the SD card without an NVR?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    So it records to both the NVR and the SD simultaneously?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    I'm also wondering if I can have the ET camera's record to SD card and connect using an app directly to the camera on a LAN for live view and playback without an NVR? At the same time I'm wondering what role the sd card plays when there's an NVR?

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    I suppose it's be foolish for me to be petty on the cameras since I don't have too many. Looking at EmpireTech I find that their products aren't readily sold in Canada. Additionally I'd like to understand the difference between the NVR you posted and this much cheaper one, or is there a thread...

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    I totally understand that, however I would wonder what the next best NVR would be after BI on a PC

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    Thanks for your response, I'll also read the other threads. I think 15 feet of IDENTIFY is more than enough for my application, I'll take a look at that thread you linked. As far as NVR, my concern with Blue Iris is the lack of dedicated hardware, it means I'll have to run a windows machine...

    Hi to all! Question about an ecosystem for an Offline Environment

    Hi all! I'm new here, not sure if this is the right place to post, please guide me if there's a better place. I'm looking for recommendations on home security camera ecosystem that can work by design in an offline (no internet) environment. (there will be a POE switch, full wired ad-hoc...
