Browse Forums Safer Living Re: Recommend security cameras + supporting system 2Jan 02, 2019 7:08 am My solution is 2 systems, wired and wireless I have experience with Arlo Pro2 wireless camera system and it is excellent. It will give you 5 cameras in the cloud for free for 7 days and you can view anywhere on I phone/Ipad and turn on and off as required remotely. I choose to pay $100/ year for up to 10 cameras with 30 day cloud. You can now buy 3 camera system for $700 or buy two sets(6cameras) for $ 1400 and the base station runs off your modem router. Super easy to set up yourself. For wired system I have Hikvision 8 camera 4MP system recording to 2 tb disk 24/7 and that will overwrite every 7-10 days. Its excellent and I choose not to have remote control but if there is an issue I can review the footage on site. You will need a screen and I simply hook it up to my TV On Arlo I pick up wallabies at night, birds, even bugs and spiders if they crawl on to the camera Make sure you have UPS or solar as without power nothing will work.

It will cost you less than US$500 for the set of 8 POE cameras with NVR and all cables. Hikvision is also a Chinese brand, by the way, you will be able to get some really good offers closer to Chinese New Year. Re: Recommend security cameras + supporting system 7Jan 03, 2019 7:36 am Most of the cheap camera models are not vari focus and do not support H.265. Thus during install they cannot be 'custom' setup. Many NVR have limited incoming bandwidth. Many NVR do not support ONVIF and H.265 Re: Recommend security cameras + supporting system 8Jan 03, 2019 12:51 pm IamSAM Most of the cheap camera models are not vari focus and do not support H.265.

In fact, it is harder to find the ones which DO NOT. Re: Recommend security cameras + supporting system 10Feb 24, 2020 9:44 am The software will allow you to control the NVR fan, however it is best left to the default. The fan and the storage hard disk are behind the inevitable hum. Re: Recommend security cameras + supporting system 11Apr 28, 2021 10:37 am If the fan making a noise is still an issue Dahua offers a recorder that's fan-less (NVR2108-8P-4KS2), but I recommend not installing that recorder somewhere that's not well ventilated since you don't want to over-heat it and have it build to much dust which can cause problems in the future.
