Hello,
Im trying to set up a good NVR system that will handle 8 cameras using blue iris. IP cameras would be nice for some(i am going to mount 2 outside, those would be nice to not have to wire up) but POE cameras would be just fine(for the inside 6), not really to picky on price would love 1080p but if i cant record in that then 720p would be fine. Whats REALLY important is that i have 45+ days of video stored for EACH camera. What size hard drives and how powerful of a system do i need to do this? What would be the best resolution i could record at, and not have to have 32TB of storage lol. Id like to stick to 16TB or less. I would like to also have the ability to live stream atleast one camera at a time. I stared looking at prebuilt NVR's but the prices made me rather build my own if im gonna speed that much. At least then it will be good quality and ill learn some stuff.
ALSO, am looking at moving from my two amcrest 1080p IP cameras recording to the cloud to a 5 camera system with all IP cameras(all 1080p would be awesome). Right now im using amcrests cloud service and recording ANY motion on the camera lol, I get any movement recorded in full 1080p for 14 bucks a month. trying to get the most out of that by setting the motion detection for the whole screen lol. I'd like to have 720p motion detection recording available for a few days for day time, and store a few days of 1080p constant recording from 9pm to 6am.
