Thank you for the info. I looked at those cameras and they are too much for me. I am retired and not real well off by any means. I will just stay with the other cameras I have that do work good.Yes, get a camera OEM'd by a name brand such as Dahua or Hikvision; the Loryta and EmpireTech sold by @EMPIRETECANDY are OEM'd by Dahua.
These cameras will cost more because they offer more and just plain perform better. I don't know about you but at my age and condition right now time is precious and I don't want to waste it monkeying with something that won't work or performs poorly when it DOES sometimes work.
My time is also worth money when I'm moonlighting @ $75 an hour so I don't want to lose $75 trying get a $30 camera to work, then poorly at best.
Steer away from cameras that require you to scan a QR code or enter a UID number into their app to view remotely.
With them you'll likely be using an offshore P2P server ("cloud") and locked into a proprietary protocol that can't be streamed directly to Blue Iris, VLC or any VMS.
I think it's @looney2ns favorite saying and repeated often by @wittaj and other here...."Buy once, cry once".
