I bought a amcrest 8mp 4k camera system. if its recording at 4k it will use more memory on the hard drive right? So if i switch to all 4mp 1080p or 2mp cameras i should get more days out of my 2tb hard drive? Im just trying to get a idea of how HDD storage work with the camera quality.

is it possible to use a different app rather than the amcrest app?

how is everyone running their camera wires with vaulted ceilings? My home has vaulted ceilings pretty much the whole main level and in the attic it’s hard to fish the wires.

If I did it this route my network won’t be as congested right?

Thank You all so much for masking things much clearer for me. Guess it’s time to start planning now and start a shopping list.

So the switch can be connected directly to my WiFi router right and my pc will pick up the cameras video feed with the software.

So this is all I need to have a vms system. Pc with blue iris software———->Poe power switch————->Poe cameras. Is this the basic setup of a typical build? Am I missing anything.

hello I am new here. I have skimmed through the cliff notes some. I will read more when I have free time. So I’m really noob to this home security stuff. My only experience was when I installled my parents Amcrest 960h system about 5 years ago. After playing with their system I seen how poor...
