    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    OK, so I got my first camera and I started to get things set up. Changing the framerate etc. I assume it will be best to use that service tool that flips the camera from day to night? Or is it not necessary if the camera is flipping to black/white when in the dark? Are there any recommended...

    Dahua vs unifi

    Makes sense. From my talks in the unifi community, it seems the g4 pro is the closest equivalent, but the price is crazy. At least that is how I understood it anyway.

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    yes, I am having these very fears, but if the answer is as simple as a firewall rule, I am OK with it. Why would I think my camera is exposing me any more than my cell phone these days. I simply talk about things and they suddenly become suggestions...

    WD Red died. Should I get WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk ?

    OK got it. Will be curious once I start playing where I end up with both space and requirements. It is my first venture into the space, so I wasn't sure what to even consider as a target. 30 days, was my guess, but I could see the need for longer in certain situations.

    Dumb question, reading about some of the security concerns with hikvision and other cameras. Is that still a concern with the camera I ordered? Or is it as simple as a firmware patch?
