Yes, that's the Dahua site. I was aware of its existence. I had (and still have) some doubts and cannot find a definitive answer there. But thanks anyway.

Hi, I have been looking for a WI-Fi Dahua cam. I have seen in Dahua brand two lines: -'Normal' cameras, such as IPC-HDBW1320E-W -'Consumer' cams, such as IPC-HDBW1435E-W Trying to find the differences, I have some doubts.... A 'Consumer' cam works without NVR and using the cloud service? A...

After a few thinking and wondering, and much reading in the forum, I see that the WiFi solution is not very good...So I will try to use wifi only where no other option is available, and try to get a cabled solution/powerline in other places. I will not use the POE in the NVR, only in the switch...

Thanks. From what I've read around here I also prefer to buy Dahua or Hik. I would prefer wifi cameras that have also POE so I can use them in another cabled system if the wifi option gets impossible to use... What I still have doubts: -I can connect the Wifi cams to the wifi network, so the NVR...

As I said, cabling would be my first choice.

Hi, I want to install a small IP camera system in my mother's house. Probably around 4/6 cams, but they must be Wifi. I see there are WiFi NVRs, but is that what I need? The house is big, so one NVR could not connect directly to all the cams. But I got Wifi around the house. Is there a solution...

Ok. I will check the subforums and learn more about NVR/PC. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

...a dedicated PC might be too much for 3/4 cams....with a NVR can I get the same flexibility I get with a cloud cam system (such as Alor or Nest)? I would like to be able to see the cameras live on my android phone, but also be able to define motion triggers and store the motion detection...

Hi, I am thinking about putting up a small ip cam system in my mother's house. It will be a simple system, with 3 or 4 cams (2 in, 2 out), Dahua or Hikvision. I was thinking about using a cloud storage system to store the vidoes in case of motion detection and to have live feed in my mobile...
