Hey all, I am making a home camera system to survey and record.
My plan:
16 cameras with POE, NAS support, at least 50 ft night vision, 1080p and good resolution/screen size.
1 GB router with enough ports.
1 NAS with good capacity.
1 UPS with good run time.
Basically, I am having trouble finding good cameras at a good price, Lorex has some nice cameras but they are 200 dollars a piece.
As far as remote watching with my phone, I can VPN to my router and view the cameras as media video streaming servers, so thats easy.
Basically, I know what I want to do, I'm just having problems finding good hardware that can support my needs. Most of what I find is either cheap junk or overpriced good stuff.
EDIT:
I forgot to add, I would like to have actual motion sensors trigger recording if possible.
Like those flood light motion sensors, something like that, but for the camera, no flood lights.
