Hey everyone! I have read the wiki and read some articles online and was hoping for some direction.
I don't entirely understand all of the pieces that I need. I want recording in both the front and back of our house, alerts on motion detection, nighttime recording, high enough quality to see faces, ideally a way to view the cameras from inside the house easily if I get a motion detection or hear something.
I was looking at getting one of these to start:
Reolink 4MP (2560x1440) Super HD PoE Camera w/SD Card Outdoor/Indoor Video Surveillance Home Ip Security IR Night Vision Motion Detection Audio Support w/Phone App RLC-410S
If I am going to set it all up myself then I guess I also need an NVR to connect the cameras to. What are the top recommendations for 4/8 channel?
Then I hang the camera, run the wire to the NVR(which I guess is inside the house, so I need to run 4 wires through the wall, under the house(we have crawl space), then back into the house to get to the NVR?). Then what? Do I then need to connect the NVR to a PC and then run Blue Iris on the PC? Or do you either get an NVR or get a PC? If I have the NVR downstairs can I view the video on monitors upstairs? I am getting lost on the logistics. It would be awesome to have a monitor on my nightstand that I can turn on and see all 4 cameras.
Any direction or guides would be awesome.
