| Synology Surveillance vs Unifi Protect vs Off-the-shelf NVR vs Blue Iris Posted: 06 Dec 2020 10:01 PM PST Thank you for your help. First off, I will say, while I won't say "money is no object", I am willing to pay a relative premium for improved quality of life, features, stability, performance, etc. With that in mind, which should be my NVR system? I plan to do ~5 PoE cameras. Ideally high quality (4K). Half indoor/half out. May add 1-2 later, maybe even a wifi one down the line but probably not. (Recs on the camera appreciated too) Some of my options... 1. Synology Surveillance Station: 2. Unifi Protect: 3. Off-the-shelf NVR/packages: 4. Blue Iris: Thoughts? Anything you recommend that's not listed? [link] [comments] |
| DIY All in One Security System Recommendations Posted: 07 Dec 2020 12:43 AM PST Hello! I'm looking to build my own security system for my house. I am very techie, but I have absolutely no clue or previous history working with home security systems. The most I've ever explored this is the Amcrest IP camera I've had set up in my office for several years (PoE). I'm looking to do all this myself and am not interested in home monitoring or a monthly plan, mainly because I'll enjoy installing everything myself. Here are my goals with this system: -I would like the entire system to operate under one umbrella, like one app where it all works together if possible. My question is, where do I begin? I have heard about Abode and they seem to be what I am looking for. Are there other companies that have similar offerings? [link] [comments] |
| Best options for a closed circuit home outdoor camera system? Posted: 06 Dec 2020 01:18 PM PST First time camera buyer here. -I'm looking for an oudoor 8-camera system to mount in my eaves. -Routing cat6 cable is no problem for me, or the building -I'd like all the camera data to go to a central hub, that I can pull off locally -I have an old laptop that I can dedicate to the system if necessary (and add an external hard drive) -I am open to either having a closed loop dedicated system, or having that closed system link to my wifi for monitoring on my cell phone. - I'm not into paying a subscription, I'd like to pay it all up front - Budget is $2,000 or under - I'd like to be able to use some different manufactuer cameras on the system if I decide to upgrade some cameras. - Clear nightvision for up to 30 feet is a must. Thats it... as far as I know. Thanks for the advice! [link] [comments] |
| What happens when I'm out of town? Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:32 PM PST I have a Vista 20p with Envisalink and some security cameras. What do I do if my alarm goes off but, it appears to be a false alarm on my security cameras? Is there a way to remotely shut off the alarm? I have been searching but, I'm not even sure how to do it on the keypad. I've accidentally set it off when in instant mode and I have to scramble to get to the panel and unhook the power. I have a siren hooked up so it really gets my blood pumping. I guess, worst case, I can unhook the siren when I go out of town. Any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

| Paradox security system review? Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:18 AM PST Hi all! I'm currently building a new house and the builder has offered to install some home security for me. It seems to be brand called Paradox. I tried to search for some reviews, but haven't been able to find any online. Has anyone here have experience with this brand? I'm just thinking if the builder is trying to offer me the cheapest brand they can and if I'm better off getting this sorted myself with someone else after the house is built. Ideally, I want something with a doorbell camera or front porch camera so I can see when the delivery guy comes when I'm at work or when the Ubereats guy comes. Not sure if this is something that is offered by Paradox. Also, if I go with this offer, is it hard to change brand later if I don't like it? If so, please let me know of any of your recommended brands if this is kind of a "do it once, do it right" thing. The total cost of supply and installation is AUD $1364. Here's the quote: Provide Paradox Bronze security system package including: - 1 No. 10 Zone Security Panel - 3 No. PIR Movement Detectors - 1 No. LED display keypad - 1 No. Recess Internal siren - 1 No. External siren and Blue strobe - 1 No. User instruction manual - 1 No. Battery Backup Note: Including 1 No. telephone and 1 No. data point.

| Looking for NVR solution for 18 or so Amcrest cameras of various age Posted: 06 Dec 2020 10:07 AM PST Hello world Looking to give up on the NV4116E-HS I have for several reasons, mostly I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to reliably keep all of the cameras recording. I've set static IPs on both the camera and router side and the NVR inevitably loses connectivity with some of the cameras over time and thus no recording... On top of that there's no more firmware upgrade support for this model, and the software is truly clunky. Also, the new AI cameras don't seem to play well with the older apps and NVRs. It seems like since even Amcrest resells the Blue Iris software that may be the most logical choice for a non-Amcrest replacement. What has your experience been with either Blue Iris or has anyone found a good NVR solution for an Amcrest camera environment? [link] [comments] |
| Help me decide between these 3 PTZ cameras Posted: 06 Dec 2020 03:19 AM PST https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0894HGCRB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A1B1SO4PGSKWLC&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LCZF8LT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2UTR3DNJ72RXS&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H4PLZ9M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A7X2PUGMPEXA6&psc=1 The first one has most of my attention because of the 30x optical zoom with the visible NV led's that the others seem to lack. Which would you go with? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:12 AM PST Looking to get a small motion detecting camera to put on a window sill to cover the back door of an apartment. Really would prefer something on the lower cost end (under $50 USD) but one doesn't somehow try and force you to purchase their cloud or etc in the future. Preferred SD card. Also, what would be the best way to protect a car from vandalism when it's in an apartment parking lot and there is no access to mounting outdoor cameras around it? [link] [comments] |
