I thought so. The cloud solution is just to access the video that's stored locally so I guess just like streaming some online TV. Thanks for your help

Hi guys, I am looking at installing an NVR with 2-3 Axis cameras in my house and have decided on the cameras with a reasonable angle and night vision however still researching the NVR solutions. I have come accross a few such as Macroscop (http://www.macroscop.com), XanCloud (http://www.xanview.co.uk) and Milestone however Milestone seems quite pricy and the other two I can't find many reviews on. XanCloud sounds more trustworthy to me since it's made in UK however I was wondering if anybody had any experience with it already and can provide a reference or some tips? Thank you all in advance!

Thanks for the replies! I don't think I am clued up enough as the tool is really confusing and I was unable to get much use out of it. From what I read there is no reason that a few Axis cameras won't record over my home network without any need for additional hardware. Correct me if I am wrong but bandwidth and everything else only matters if I store video offsite? Thank you!

Hi Buellwinkle, thanks for your post, do you have a link for that calculator? I looked at some reviews for Axis and they just seemed to be the ferrari of cameras. I couldn't find the Xanview NVR I wanted online so emailed them about how to get one. No reply yet so have contacted Macroscop and will take a look at the BlueIris - sounds interesting! It's not actually cloud storage I am after as my internet is pretty slow here, it's mostly the remote access that I need. As far as storage is concerned, I am happy for the video to be stored on my NVR. Will return with my findings

Hello guys, thanks for your replies! I've had a look at the solutions you recommend and they seem interesting albeit a little below par. The reason Xanview took my interest is because it seems really ahead with the features. I love the fact that it requires no software installation and works from any device and any browser. Another big selling point to me is that I can connect multiple NVRs (home & office) in one interface and watch them side by side. Have you had a look at their online demo on the website? I think I may get one to test anyhow, they have a standard return policy, so if it doesn't behave as I want it, can always return it quickly!
