Hello,
I have a friend who has a business in West Africa that he would like to protect with some cameras, and I'm wondering what the best approach should be given some limitations.
1. Internet is only available through a 4G LTE hotspot that broadcast WiFi.
2. Unreliable power (power goes in and out)
3. Cost needs to be as low as possible.
Given that my friend wants to be able to view the cameras remotely, and keep his cost relatively low, what would be the recommended approach. Running BI on a PC would be out of the question due to power issues. Would running a local NVR be the best bet, or perhaps to keep cost low we get some cameras that need regular power line, and put SD cards in them?
I look forward to your response.
