Spent the last few months reading through the forum, decided to finally take the dive transitioning my system over from a Lorex NVR to BI but I'd like some recommendations from people who are more familiar than I am. Needing to upgrade my system as we've had a few break in's in our neighborhood (Not my home) over the last year and I dont want to be next.
Goals: 10-14 cameras (I have no preference for resolution as I've learned it's more about the sensor/focal length than MP). Might add in 1 or 2 Wireless cameras. Would like for it to record for at least a 7 day period (up to 14 days). Would even like to add in some form of AI like face detection or license plate reading for cars driving by if possible (camera is roughly 25 feet from the street).
Setup: 12 camera's (all hardwired via Cat 6). I believe I've narrowed down the computer (Refurb prodesk- i7 9700, 32gb, 256 SSD, 12TB WD Purple)
Network switches: What do you recommend?
Camera's: Empiretech seems to be highly recommended so will go with them- Unsure of which specific models yet but open to suggestions here.
Anything else you recommend? I'm trying to make this future proof so I dont need to keep upgrading every few years...
TIA!
