OK, so I my own system I got together from the advice in here, which I understand as the software and equipment is onsite. At this time i do not even connect my NVR (a NAS drive) to the internet.
The issue is I have a very small HOA I am part of that wants 1-2 cameras installed to monitor the parking lot as a deterannce and in the event something does happen. (Something did, which triggered this whole discussion). But they know NOTHING with it comes to tech, much less cams, POE switches, and NVRs. Soooo i cant expect them to understand the equipment, and I am offsite (its a rental condo i own).
As the only "tech guy" they come to me. But what is best solution here? A consumer grade cloud based wifi system? For this I assume at least 1 person would need to have a hub no matter what. I do not mind "maintaining" the system (or storing data) but I guess that is irrelevant if its cloud based.
I am looking for the easiest solution I may not have thought off.
