The NVR IS the VMS. You just install SmartPSS to view and manage them remotely. All recording is on the NVR.
We have line of sight at the clubhouse and lake. But the entrances to the community are spread pretty far apart. We have a few hundred acres between the entrances with lots of trees, so line of sight is indeed an issue. If we could get power to each individual sight and have a static IP address, then the server could connect somehow to the cameras right? But that's a big trick in this case.If homeowners are willing, and you have lines of site, you could use ubiquity nanostations to securely radio transmit the data feeds. This is different than wifi.
