Welcome to the forum.
Please read the cliff notes and other items in the wiki. The wiki is in the blue bar at the top of the page.
Read How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) in the wiki also.
Quick start
1) Use Dahua starlight cameras or Hikvision darkfighter cameras or ICPT Night eye cameras (https://store.ipcamtalk.com/) if you need good low light cameras.
2) use a VPN to access home network (openVPN)
3) Do not use wifi cameras.
4) Do not use cloud storage
5) Do Not use uPNP, P2P, QR
6) More megapixel is not necessarily better.
7) Avoid chinese hacked cameras (most ebay, amazon, aliexpress cameras(not all, but most))
8) Do not use reolink or nest cameras (they are junk)
9) If possible use a turret camera
Read,study,plan before spending money ..... plan plan plan

I wish I had more time to plan but having issues of late. Need to implement then adjust if needed. This website has been so helpful and I feel like I’m off to a solid start. Placed my order for 3 Dahua Starlight turrets w/variable focus, 8 port PoE switch, a refurbished i5 6600 HP 8MB 256 SSD win 10 hp elitedesk 800 and a 2TB WD purple. All should be here next week and then the fun begins. : )
