Hello, I am considering to get around 7 or 8 of the ADC2W cameras for my home exterior security surveillance system. Ideally, I would like to have full-time video recording. I also want some motion detected events sent to my phone. Since these cameras are wifi, do they to use my home wifi...

Hello, I am considering to use Blueiris for my NVR needs, but would like to locate the computer somewhere it can't be easily discovered and stolen. (For example, the attic or furnace room, etc..) Since it would not be easily accessible... I would set it up as a "headless" computer. (No...
