New with questions

[Jaketate3]

I have a few questions. I have the Ezviz C3W ezguard cams and the Hikvision DS-HD1 on order. Is there a NVR that is compatible with these cams and doorbell? I saw the list of NVR's that the doorbell is compatible with but wasn't sure if the cams were. I also saw the Ezviz X5C4 may be compatible with the cams but not sure about the doorbell.

Also, I have a Mac Mini that's not in use. Can it be setup and used for NVR for the cams and doorbell? My thought is if it can I would use an external drive with a surveillance drive in it.

Thanks

Welcome and please read the Cliff Notes and check out the WIKI.

In the Cliff Notes you will learn not to use WIFI cams for security. Those Ezviz cams will not give you good performance. They have small sensors and are very wide angle. Anytime the marketing displays show a masked guy with his hands up and some kind of ray being shot at him from the cam should be a big flag that the cam is crap.
