A friend recently opened a store front that is doing quite well. They've tapped me to setup surveillance. I'm an IT professional and have several surveillance cameras on my own property. I have setup my cameras, NAS, backup and scripts just how I want them. For this shop I want to stick as close to off-the-shelf as I can. Four cameras should suffice. I'd like a recommendation for a NVR.
The shop owner is not very adept with technology, so playback needs to be simple. Web based is fine as long as the security is good / trusted. If there's a good mobile/MacOS client that can work too, and I'll just teach them how to flip on the VPN on their phone/computer when they want to see the cameras.
I'd like to find something that makes cloud backup easy. Basically if something happens at the store and the NVR is compromised I don't want the owner to have to rely on me to get their footage. They should be able to do it themselves.
I appreciate any tips, insights or recommendations you can provide. Thank you!
