If I decide to go with a Blue Iris system I will need a PC. Would one of the fanless mini PCs from Ali-Express work? How would I connect a 2TB hard drive? Can it connect through a USB port?
If I got a Dahua or Hikvision NVR and later decided I wanted to go to Blue Iris, would I be able to use the NVR as a POE switch? Or would I need to get rid of the NVR and get a new switch?
I'm interested in this also. Are these NVRs limited to using Dahua cameras be only? Other than using other brands of cameras whatb functionality would be missing over what BlueIris has?
Thanks
I would like to evaluate Blue Iris. Could I load the demo version onto my laptop and use an Amcrest camera? Would I need to plug the camera into a switch (don't have one) or can I plug it directly into my router?
Hi all, I don't want the hassle of setting a computer and want local storage without a monthly subscription fee. And I need to be able to be notified and see what is happening on my phone.
Thinking of getting the 4 camera Lorex system with 2 TB NVR. Do you guys think that is a big mistake? If...
