FNG here, love the site and look forward to learning more on camera systems.
After talking to Andy and explaining what I wanted to do, ordered a IPC-color4k-T180. My original idea was to use the camera for drive way alerts and keep an eye on some buildings, if motion was detected, it could send me a msg to my cell phone.
I installed a Netgear GS108LP unmanaged switch to power the T180, ran my cat6 cable, installed the cam and connected everything. Downloaded the DMSS app on my phone and can't connect to the camera no matter what I try.
That got me to thinking, I really need to see the images from my desktop for adjustments vs the tiny screen on my phone. Do I need to get a nvr for that or can I run a cable from the unmanaged switch to my desktop a view it then? I still want the ability to get notices of movement sent to my phone.
Thanks
