Browse Forums Safer Living Re: Home Security Camera options 3Dec 30, 2017 8:57 am I'm interested in this too. We have wired PoE cables around our home, but have not yet made decisions on cameras or systems. So, this is what I can answer: 1. Not selected yet 2. Six 3. Single left and right of house (narrow), and two pairs front and back of house (very long) in what the military would call interlocking arcs. 4. All at single story height. 5. Cabled during build. We are building a custom house, so the cabling was done as part of our IT setup and cost what it cost. 6. Not implemented yet. Additional questions for everyone: 7. What security system software are you using and does it support all operating systems (Windows, OS X, Android, IOS, etc)? 8. What storage hardware have you installed (PVR, NAS, etc)? 9. How do you access imagery (phone/tablet, computer, TV, etc)? Re: Home Security Camera options 4Dec 30, 2017 9:32 am 7, Not using any "security system" software as such. Have a Bosch home security system which is connected to my network but I use a QNAP Surveillance Station App to record video as well as local sdcards on the cameras. QNAP has apps for android as well as IOS and Windows. Technically any OS as it is browser based to access the cameras. I also use the Hikvision app also available on IOS, Android, and Windows. The cameras can be connected to the Bosch alarm system with separate cabling but I didn't do mine that way. I have a higher end QNAP though with as I have a lot of Cameras and I also use it as my media centre doing transcoding etc. 9) All of those:) Mostly phone and tablet. I got a great cheap octacore 10" Android tablet from Aliexpress and use it on a wall mount to watch the cameras when I'm bored:):) Re: Home Security Camera options 5Dec 30, 2017 10:25 am I have Arlo Pro 4 camera system as motion detect alert and with free cloud storage 7 days , easy set up it is excellent. I also have Hikvision 8 camera system loop recording, currently trying to configure it for viewing on mobile phone Both are excellent and there is never enough cameras, but you can turn them off line when required.
