Hey guys
i purchased a couple hikvision cams (2cd2742fwd-izs) to install around the exterior on my house. i haven't used IP cams before so im new to the setup and configuration process. I have a QNAP pro nas, i was think of using the surveillance station (SS) app with these cams. i noticed that when search for the cams i can either use UDP/UPNP or ONVIF, which is the preferred method? Also, i can configure the cams via a web browser and also with the SS app, how should that be handled (do the setting have to match or does one take priorty over the over). lastly, the cams support local storage (microSD) can i use the SD card at the same time as recording to a DVR or my SS app?
my setup
Asus AC87r router/ap
trendnet tpe-1020ws smart switch POE+
qnap TS-469 pro
hikvision DS-2CD2742FWD-IZS (x2)
thank you for your time and help
regards
Roy
