Hello all,
I'd like to get some ideas, suggestions and advice for what I need.
Background info:
We currently have 3x 16 channel NightOwl Analog standalone systems, they monitor our retail boutique, warehouse, and our house (since they are next to each other).
I work in IT, so I am comfortable with configuring a PC solution, running cables, etc.
Needs:
- IP Cameras (Want to use Ethernet cables for easier install)
- Remote Viewing from iPhone
- Decent quality, doesn't have to be HD
What I'm looking for is a centralized solution using Ethernet cables, I don't like that we have 3 systems.
I'm hoping to not break the bank, but at the same time have a long term and good solution.
I'm open to using a standalone NVR, or a Server/PC type setup.
I'm not familiar with what is needed to create/install a Server/PC type setup, so if the necessary components can be identified, it would be really helpful.
We do not need PTZ, motion sensors would be welcomed (not necessary).
We are not a high-traffic store, so it's really for basic monitoring, no need for crazy amounts of days stored etc.
I'm hoping that this kind of gives an idea into what I'm looking for, if it isn't clear or if you guys need more info, please ask.
