Noob here and gathering information as much as i can before going wrong way.
I got 3 HikVision DS-2CD2342WD-I's and yet to setup. I am considering blue iris at the moment. I have a macbook pro running 24/7 which may not workout with blue iris(or may be i am wrong). Here are my questions.
I got 3 HikVision DS-2CD2342WD-I's and yet to setup. I am considering blue iris at the moment. I have a macbook pro running 24/7 which may not workout with blue iris(or may be i am wrong). Here are my questions.
- I want to record video for 2weeks. I am planning to store directly from camera to my ftp server. Is it possible or i have to go with Blue Iris?
- I want to use Blue Iris only for motion detection and record that video to disk from my old laptop windows i3 with 4gb ram. Is it sufficient to handle the resources required by blue iris? are there any other software (free) to consider for this?
- What are the other possible features which i can do with blue iris keeping in mind that i am not going to buy new computer. I am still figuring out what blue iris can do other than video recording and motion detection?
- Any pointers to newbies like me to what all features i can achieve and basic features i must have to have.
