IPCT member @camdensnyder just put this 8 channel, POE NVR from Andy of EmpireTech (which is OEM'd by Dahua) up for sale. You'd save $90, about enough for a WD Purple 4TB surveillance-rated HDD.I was thinking of getting a Lorex NVR but an wondering if the Empiretek would be better in some way.
Does it come with an app for mobile devices?
Do I need to worry about security or can I just plug the poe cameras in and go?
Thank you @TonyR! Saves you from paying the taxes also.IPCT member @camdensnyder just put this 8 channel, POE NVR from Andy of EmpireTech (which is OEM'd by Dahua) up for sale. You'd save $90, about enough for a WD Purple 4TB surveillance-rated HDD.
A POE NVR puts the cameras on their own private network, isolating them from the Interent. Here's the hardware details on => amazon.
Here's the member's item for sale:
Selling a NVR8CH-8P-2AI that I bought from Andy around 6 months ago. Works perfect and has been set to factory default. Asking $285 OBO shipped anywhere in the USA!
Reolink cameras don't get much love on IPCT, especially with Blue Iris, but the Reolink doorbell works very well with Blue Iris and if you log into it's webGUI and enable ONVIF, you should be able to add it to the ONVIF-compliant Empire Tech or Dahua NVR.I was thinking of having 3 poe cameras and 1 wifi doorbell camera.
