Hello from Ohio.
First off, thanks to everyone that shares their knowledge on here. I have been reading for a while and your input is greatly appreciated.
I am an EE so I do have a technical background. But, my network experience is limited to operating a basic home network.
I am just getting started with an IP cam setup for my house. Just to get my feet wet I bought an 8 port POE switch and a Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A to play around with. Bought them yesterday and they should be here this week. I plan to add more cameras and an NVR eventually.
I bought the camera off of Amazon and it says it's the "International Version". I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not lol. It was only $85 so if it turns out to be a bust I'm not out much. When I figure out what I want for an NVR and more cameras I will buy from one of the vendors recommended on here.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
