Hello everyone!
My name is Nicholas, I'm French and I'm looking for advise to add CCTV system to my home automotion.
My actual setup:
- a raspberry pi with my home automation (domoticz) server that deals with light, Temp, power supplies.... I use imperihome to control it
- a foscam C1 connected to my wired network
- a xiaomi ant Ip camera connected to the iot wifi
- a synology NAS for backup
I would like to add about 3 outdoor cameras to cover my garden and my entry. In an ideal world I would like 2 or 3 good cams with standard vision angle and one with a sort of a zoom (to see how is ringing at my gate bell - 12m from my house).
At the beginning I was thinking of a Chinese set you can find for about 200 bucks with Nvr... But from what I read, it's a waste of money, so I was thinking of 3 x Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) and maybe a Nvr.
About the Nvr, I don't know.. Buy one or make one.. I already have my synology nas that can handle surveillance station but I'm not totally happy with making him work for the cam all day long, I prefer to keep him just for data.
All I need is a device that can handle 4 wired camera and 2 others that are already on the network.
My needs:
- 2 or 3 standard angle outdoor ppoe cameras
- 1 with a sort of a fixed zoom outdoor ppoe cam
- 1 ppoe compatible Nvr?
- to be able to see cams in my automotion system and in imperihome (quite std)
About the budget, 500 bucks would be great but I think it might be short..
Any advise would be great.
Thanks for your help
Nicko
