Focal length matters for the application, cameras are not magic at capturing detail if you selected the widest lens.CMOS (imaging sensor) size is suitable to the resolution: 4MP - 1/1.18", 8MP - 1/1.2" (Bigger is generally the better for capturing at night with less motion blur.).Most 4-16ch NVRs (Network video recorders) have a built in POE network switch to power and connect cameras too. Now days it's digital IP Cameras, using a network cable between each camera and powered via POE (power over ethernet). NVR vs NAS, software and the different brands to avoid, or look at?
It looks like POE cameras are the way to go these days so I can pull new ethernet cables in to replace the existing ones.ĭoes anyone have any advice on the different components I should be looking at e.g. Looking around most of the stuff I looked at is Chinese based. I also run a server with virtual machines at home so can have another vm hosted on that but I'm not really wanting to muck around at a technical level, more just really want something that works reliably. I am currently also in the market for a new NAS (which is outside the budget above) I'm looking at either synology/qnap, or freenas which potentially could be used to store the files. Regular updates (not sure if that's a thing, but don't want something easily hacked).Ideally notification on phones (multiple devices) for movement/alerts.Ideally motion detection (configurable zones a plus).Hardwired cameras (I'll rerun any required cables).Currently have a home with 4 hardwired outdoor security cameras (red/yellow connectors), the main unit (DVR?) has died.
