Hi All -- I recently joined and doing my research. This is a much more complex subject that I had anticipated, and wrapping my head around all the options is challenging. Have read the cliff notes.
Looking for a rec on a 4 camera NVR system.
We are building a new home and it is pre-wired for cameras. Based on the reviews here, I am thinking dahua, but open to all others. Here are my priorities:
1. well designed, blends well on exterior of home -- unobtrusive. ideally black as most of the places they will be placed are darker in color
2. easy to setup and configure
3. decent mobile app that i can use away from my network
4. good image quality -- I'm not as worried about license plate ID, etc. our neighborhood is relatively safe -- these are to deter petty theft, monitor for packages, and check in on the kids when they are outside. Other features are nice to have
5. great reliability
I'd love a high quality US company, but it seems that most of the tech these days is chinese. i'd like to avoid chinese if possible due to security concerns. I'd also like to buy it in a single bundle if possible -- our low voltage contractor will do the install.
Our low voltage contractor offered something by Lux Technologies, but I can't really find much on them, so thinking they are not very well regarded.
I saw this on amazon -- but no reviews and claims that they unpackage and 'test' everything before sending. Not keen on that.

Thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!
