    Hello Everyone. Here's what I'm after

    Look at dahua cams. There is a member on here that sells them for reasonable prices and they are below your budget per cam which means you can buy more cams. Look into the dahua starlight's for good nightime images.

    Need help choosing a camera system or camera components

    Yeah I was pricing out sticks of ram and they are pretty pricey. It seems a better value to buy a pc with 8gb already if that's what I need. Thanks

    Need help choosing a camera system or camera components

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm not going to purchase reolink. I don't mind purchasing one camera at a time.
