I’m beginning to setup my home surveillance system and have purchased three Dahua cameras from Andy. (2MP starlight)
My next step is to record the footage and I have a few options:
1) Create a virtual machine on my large server. (not recommended, I know)
2) Purchase a dedicated machine for Blue Iris.
3) Purchase a dedicated NVR (ie. Dahua NVR).
I’m having a problem with option #2 because I want something that can fit in my server rack (1U preferably) and something that supports Intel QuickSync, etc. Most options I can find are much more expensive than a Dahua NVR, etc.
So... how are the Dahua NVRs? I’m interested in basic motion detection (using the IVS in the Dahua cameras?) and saving the footage. The Dahua NVRs seem very reasonably priced and have 1U server rack options so what is the general opinion of them?
(I also want something that will work with my Control4 automation system but that is a different issue...)
