Ok long-time lurker here and we have 2 Empiretech cameras that have been doing a good job over the years but I think it's time for an upgrade as have had a couple of thefts and break ins.
So we currently have an IPC HDW5442TM-ASE for the front yard and an older similar, non-audio camera for the back yard.
We run these via Cat6 running SecuritySpy on our iMac which runs 24/7 to a connected external SSD.
I would like to update these cameras to better/later models and move the older ones elsewhere around the house.
I'd also like to possibly look at getting an NVR to connect up in the garage where the router etc sits, that way not have to have the iMac doing the work. Never had an NVR before so no idea what to look at or if it's suitable. we are an Apple household if that makes any difference.
I would like software that can inform me of detections etc on my iPhone and to be able to see recordings and live view etc.
I hope that is enough info on what I need to ask but apologies if I need more and if I do please let me know and thank you
