    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    I am new to this and just ordered 3 5231's and a poe 4208 nvr. I see the cameras have a sd card slot. How does that work and do I need them? Thanks, Joe

    New to all of this..

    Mat, I think the 4208 will be fine.. What else will I need? Do I just plug the cameras in and hook up a monitor? I know I also have to run a cable to my Router.. Then I can set things up ? What will I need to check things from my phone? Thanks for your patience, Joe

    New to all of this..

    I've learned a lot here in the last couple of days.. If I get a couple of HDW5231R-Z5 cameras which Duhua NVR should I get? I would like some thing that is easy to set up and can access from my phone.. I will study up on the OpenVPN stuff but for now I just want an easy install.. Thanks again, Joe

    I just joined your group after browsing the forum. I started out looking at Arlo, then Ring , and more recently Lorex.. I am going to see if I can track down that Lorex system at Costco.. I also see a lot of recommendation for the Dahua 5231 cameras.. I have a small ranch home and I think 4...
