I replacing a 6 camera system at home. Nothing intense in terms of needs, just want to keep a good eye out and add features if possible from the last (crappy) system. Old system was a 600tvl Q-see.
So Im thinking a Reolink 8ch 4 camera system off Amazon then pickup two cameras or buying a refurbished i7, Blue Iris and some cameras.
Heres the computer from amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Optiplex-980-Professional-Refurbished/dp/B01M4JC0BD/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505018000&sr=8-2&keywords=i7+desktop
The beauty of a new computer is Im replacing a 10 year old iMac that we rarely use, so if a new PC is a part of the best approach..win-win. Of course the PC isnt the top of the line, but we dont use the computer there really anyways
I have a couple cams that need good HD then a couple that could run low quality. So 1 to 4 mp variation. Like these two together: cheapy lower res- https://www.amazon.com/ZOSI-1280X720-outdoor-waterproof-Support/dp/B01DBO8HQK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1505018518&sr=8-7&keywords=onvif+cameras
Better camera w/zoom: https://www.amazon.com/HDBW4431R-ZS-2-7mm-12mm-Megapixel-Surveillance-International/dp/B074K8BTZG/ref=sr_1_5?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1505018600&sr=8-5&keywords=onvif+4mp&refinements=p_85:2470955011
Im fairly internet/computer savvy, but i dont want to be playing with it all the time.
I dont need the top shelf stuff, but best bang for the buck and Ive read a lot about Blue Iris that seems attractive..
Even if the response is brief, any are appreciated.
Thanks!
