Hi
looking to invest in x4 3/4mp hikvision cameras to help secure my home.
i've read conflicting reports on the security of using hikvision cameras with the hikvision nvr.
Does using the BI software increase security? does it require any port opening/blocking or is it fairly safe out of the box?
my plan is to use a poe switch and BI running in a windows 10 vm on my unraid server, with x4-x6 hikvision cameras.
apologies if the post is vague or has been asked before, i did search.
many thanks
