Hi, I was hoping to get some guidance on which types of camera system(s) would be best suited for the following uses, and how to structure the camera setup. What I'm looking to do is:
- Install cameras around the perimeter of the house that will provide full view coverage for security
- Install cameras on the inside of the house in certain areas, e.g., facing the entrance, living room, downstairs, for security
I really would like to avoid the cloud - certainly at least with the internal system. I'd also like to be sure there's no backdoor to the cameras, or at least not have that accessible. On the flipside, I'd like the option of being able to review footage remotely if possible.
Please tell me if I have this wrong:
- If I were using one of these cameras that is known for having open SSH backdoors, could I install a closed NVR system, e.g., one where the video runs directly to my recording device and not on my network. This would prevent someone using a camera backdoor. I could still attempt to view the recordings remotely by making the NVR web accessible.
- Alternately, if I had a reliable system like Hanwha Techwin, I could run this over the local network and make the cameras web accessible, gain per-camera live access via the camera's IP address.
Or do you recommend two different systems, like a live-access cloud solution for the front-door camera, and an NVR solution for the rest of the house?
Thanks for any guidance!
