Trying to design system for my home

[Deali]

here is a picture of my NVR in action. I log in to the webserver of my NVR, not Teamviewer or such. I can do it from any pc in my house like here on IE in Windows10.
An example on the left side, on my wifes car you can not see licensplate because the are reflecting. That is the reason i will switch to starlight cameras.

Starlight cameras wont help you read license plates, you have to run a higher exposure and blacken out the rest of the image.. to read plates requries a camera configured in such a way that its practically dedicated to only plates all night long.

but it does look like you could use a few starlights with as little light as your working with.

yea, that ist the same like if you buy a big truck for your family. Sometimes you will relocate. Then you can take all your stuff and take it with you. All the other time you drive to work with that thing. Very clever. That has nothing to do with the amount of posts to understand that.
Windows is definetly oversized to do a job as a surveillance system. In the background there are running so many task which have nothing to do with your surveillace job. All printing stuff for instance. There are modified window versions which some people created to be optimized for gaming. Everyting has been taken out but graphic. I asked here some time ago if there are special Windows versions for surveillance, but there is nothing. Linux is better but you may have to learn it. Look through their recomandations what you should buy to serve 6 cams or so.
I looked up a small NVR for you to test is, it is below 50$. The only disadvantage, it has no internal disk. mini NVR
I have the same here in my home. i bought ist used on ebay for about 20$
Buy it and see how easy it is. You will never use a pc anymore for that job.
I can highly recommend this one SAE3000-N7932F it is very powerfull an is working without any errors for quite a while. And you do not have to sit at the console. My NVR is located in a small chamber with all modem and switches. I can administrate it from any pc in my house on IE.

So much crap in one post. First of all there is a special version of windows called Windows 10 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Branch...but its NOT NEEDED. Who cares if windows can also print. Does that bother you in some way? Just dont use that function. Lots of HIGH END VMS run on windows. Avigilon, exacq, milestone etc...

That mini NVR is a piece of crap and there is a LONG thread on another forum with problem after problem with it. Your recommendation for the SAE3000-N7932F, which is GARBAGE is indicative of your inexperience (as is your thought that starlight cameras will solve your license plate problem, stop claiming you have experience in this field because this alone proves you have no clue). Please stop promoting low end garbage to users who want a reliable solution.
It is evident that you lied and you have NOT tried "all" vms available for windows and linux.

fenderman, why are you so unfrendly? Why are you saying the SAE3000-N7932F is GARBAGE? Have you ever tested it? I have it here and i have run 8 ip-cams with it an it is a pleasure to work with it. What ist wrong to get a little device like the MiniNVR. If i would live in the US i would send mine to shmookles to let him play with it. That is no investment. A big investment would be your Windows 10 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Branch. You are critisizing my step to solve the reflecting problem (the licence plate is only an example) but you do not give a solution. Windows will be a reliable solution as it has to reboot on a frequent base to install updates.
Here is thelinki talked about the Software solution. For a simple setup you where asking for the exact model. As if 4gb ram and 2cpu@3ghz would not enough to test BI. That was the time i stopped getting further into a pc-based software solution. By the way, my problems with motion detection was caused by my 5MP ip-cams. I replaced them an everything is ok.
But you know BI best, just tell me what hardware and software do i need to run 24 ip-cam´s @ 1080p with BI?

I will call you out on your nonsense and when you lie. If you feel that is unfriendly, they you are welcome to leave the forum or stop lying. The SAE3000-N7932F is made by a no name company known for garbage products. I dont have to test it to know that it is garbage as well. You need to learn English. I NEVER recommended windows enterprise. In fact I said JUST THE OPPOSITE. I stated it is NOT needed. Please for God sakes READ my posts.

So you tested blue iris and by your own admission NOTHING else, yet you claimed to test ALL the windows and linux software. Are you lying now or or were you lying then? Help me out with this one...
Blue iris can run fine for MOST installations on a 150 dollar i5-ivy bridge pc. or even 100 dollar sandy bridge models. If you want new you are looking at 300 dollars. Your silly post simply listed 3ghz with NO additional data. Another indication that you simply have no idea what you are talking about.
If you want to run 24 cameras at 1080p you can easily do so with an i7-3770 or higher available for 200 dollars with lots of room to spare. It will have WAY more options than the crap NVR you suggest. Keeping in mind that most installs are 8 cameras or less, even an i5-gen2+ is overkill but its cheap enough.
It really bugs me when novices give advice pretending they have experience. It bothers me more when they are liars like you.

Starlight cameras wont help you read license plates, you have to run a higher exposure and blacken out the rest of the image.. to read plates requries a camera configured in such a way that its practically dedicated to only plates all night long.

but it does look like you could use a few starlights with as little light as your working with.

Nayr, we talked about that. It is not to read licenceplates. I have this reflecting with faces. If someone approaching the cam his face turns white because of the ir-light. I will check on this and install IMXxxx and dim the ir. I oredered IMX290, IMX291 and IMX 225 sensor boards in china.
Yesterday i bought a Luna L-NVR4832. It was just about 250$ including 8 2tb disks. If you look to the picture i think it is a Dahua. Can you tell from the picture?

 

[nayr]

dont look like a dahua to me, you cant go off looks alone.. does SmartPSS work with it? thall tell u if its a Dahua or not.

Hardware NVR's have enough limitations; I definitely would not touch some no-name crap out of china with zero reputation.. thats just asking for hurt.

 

[Deali]

No, this is sold in germany by a company in the surveilance buisiness for about 2000$, the new one is called L-NVR4832-4K
I have it not here yet. I think it will get here next week. It is a 19" version. Maybe i can aske you on a new thread then.

 

[shmookles]

@nayr what do you recommend to power these starlights? Obviously PoE is the way to go, but do you have any recommendations on brands/models to consider? Is PoE switch better to go with then with PoE injectors? is there something that everyone on these forums uses? Thanks in advance!

 

[nayr]

yeah get a PoE switch, or at least PoE Midspan instead of a bunch of individual injectors.. lots of recommendations on this board search about, I use a PowerDsine 24 port midspan w/my 48port floor switch and thats quite a bit more than most of you guys will want or need.
