Hello,
I have BI setup at my house now with several Dahua cams from Andy. I am happy with the setup and thank the community here and forum for the help over the last couple of years.
I am now doing some research for another project. I am searching / browsing the threads here, but wanted to post a general recommendation request thread as well.
I need to monitor a few zones around my mom's house . Side aisles (~3' wide walkway), front porch, short driveway and small-ish front yard. House is ~1000 sq ft on a ~6000 sq ft lot so not a lot of area.
She is not very tech savvy, so I was thinking hardware NVR vs software solution like BI.
The NVR would need to be able to store video off-site or at least in a secure location on-site (mainly break-in and theft prevention and not fire protection so much). It would need to send real-time alerts to phone. I would need to remotely view/review camera footage. I would be the one monitoring the cameras, so remote operation is important, but periodic local maintenance is fine.
As far as cameras, I have been happy with the Dahuas so will probably stick with those unless there is something that makes more sense.
I am not asking nor expect you guys to do the design work for me, but if there is a product you like or can recommend, or have have suggestions let me know.
Much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
