Looking for recommendation on camera, recording and viewing.

  1. Located in lobby of very small condo, couple cameras
  2. there will be no Internet access
  3. I'm open to a local lan, NVR or not, probably POE connection from closet.
  4. Once set access by phone over Wi-Fi, local lan, as PC makes little sense.
Was thinking simple POE router and/or switch, Onvif cameras, maybe DAHUA.
Just not clear on recording, managing, viewing. I don't think on board camera storage is enough or I'd ditch the NVR.

Suggestions?
 
My doorbell records events to a memory card and just now looked, i can go back to sept 20th. So depending on how much traffic you have you may be suprised how many recordings you can capture on a large memory card....but I don't know your area for what your setup would need.

It triggers often with cars going down the road. 10 events for today about 15 secounds each but will record until the event is over.

Thank you for the reply. We have traffic daily in the lobby. We need to look back, after the fact probably at full recording.

Couple days might be enough, a little more is better. Didn't think 250gb per camera is sufficient
 
Send like must cameras take to to 256gb. Still, at roughly 1.5 gb per hour at 1080p h265 gives 170 hours or almost 7 days. You've shown me the light. A couple of Dahua IP Cameras with excellent on board recording and smart detection and SD card. Just access them independently and directly, No need for NVR or Internet. Just need to double check the DMSS dahua app functionally on phone. Thank you for the input.

I'm not sure but you may even be able to save video to your fone....not sure. And not sure it automatically saved to your phone memory card....but sounds like you have a plan.

thats great!
 
If you look at an NVR like Amcrest ( Dahua OEM) it can power the Cams and has a fairly decent App so you can view the lobby on your phone and like my Condo, When they got the Postmaster key during a riot with the whole George Floyd thing, we were able to look back about 4 weeks to they had visited 3 times! forging checks n shit.

Here is the reason I ended up at Ipcamtalk.
In 2017 over labor day weekend, this jack ass ripped open the outgoing mailbox and did some check forging etc. I was brand new on the job as maint man. look at the shitty quality of this image. And no other supporting cameras to corroborate the car, the plates, etc.
I ended up with about 18 IP cams.
And 7-8 legacy DVR style Cams running off 300 foot runs of Coax,
here was the first BI build.

How do you connect to the Amcrest NVR via phone?
