Hi,
new home new security system.
I'm moving to a new house where I'll need 7-8 security cameras. In my current appartment all I need is a single IP camera, POE switch, Synology NAS and UPS. This system is pretty old (2013) and many things have changed so I face many new questions but first let me tell you about my certainties. I want:
Reolink
I've seen many people complaining about the fact that Reolink cameras have troubles with BI. For example they can't keep the same FPS settings for mainstream and substream which leads to incorrect/buggy motion detections. Few days ago I've seen this video where it seems that all problems have been fixed. Can you confirm me this?
AMD vs Intel
I understand I need at least a 6th generation Intel CPU due to h.265 support but what about AMD? I have no problem with Intel. I am just trying to understand if Intel is the only option we have in this particular market.
CPU vs CPU & GPU
What if add a low-end GPU? Can it help with Deepstack and with reducing CPU usage? Is it worth? Any experience? I was thinking of Nvidia GT 1030 or a more powerful Radeon RX 550.
CPU model
I can build a PC for anything but I have no idea of it takes to run BI with 7 or 8 5MP cameras running 24/7. What is the minimum CPU model I should aim to? Would it matter if I add a GPU? I mean with a GPU could I aim to cheaper CPUs?
Storage
I will install Windows, BI and Deepstack on an SSD drive and I already own the following stuff:
That being said, what is the best use I could possibly do of my 6x drives? I was thinking of transfering motion detections to the NAS on a daily basis so that I don't have to worry about losing them. I could use the two super-slow WD Green to keep an extra copy in another place.
Thanks for reading!

This system is pretty old (2013) and many things have changed so I face many new questions but first let me tell you about my certainties. I want:
- Blue Iris hence PC-based system (no NRV)
- All cameras powered over ethernet
- Cat5e cables because higher categories are overkill
Reolink 5MP cameras. I'll use a mix of RLC-410 (bullet) and RLC-520 (dome)- 2MP or 4MP camera

Storage
I will install Windows, BI and Deepstack on an SSD drive and I already own the following stuff:
- 2x 2TB WD Red installed on a Synology NAS (2 bay)
- 2x 2TB WD Green (not in use)
