Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and new to home surveillance. I'm piecing together my first system and would like a little feedback. here's what I have so far-
1) I'm renting a 3br/2bath home in a suburban neighborhood.
2) PC has an i5-3570s with Intel "HD" graphics; 8GB memory; 5400rpm HD
3) A Netgear NAS
4) POE switch
Here's what I've ordered-
1) Evo 860 SSD for PC
2) Amcrest ProHD 1080P camera, IP2M-841EB
My plan is to buy a Blue Iris license, hook up the camera in my living room and learn how to set up the system. Once I get the hang of it I'd like to add a wireless camera to the front door (maybe an Amcrest IP2M-842) and later something to watch the driveway and back yard. I'd like to get notifications if there's activity at my house and be able to remotely review video .
So first question is once I get my camera, should i mess with Amcrest software or go straight to Blue Iris?
