Any recommendations for an NVR that will work best with these cameras?

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of finalizing a security system and with the help of Boogieman. Was able to choice a good set of cameras. I think the only thing left is for me to choose a NVR . Below are the possible cameras I am ordering next week. 1 PTZ http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10563_i8491.html (so far top pick) http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10561_i8487.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10563_i11756.html 5 dome or bullet cameras http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10508_i7593.html (so far top pick) http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10508_i7593.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10532_i7566.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10533_i7698.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10533_i7579.html I plan on getting either 1 PTZ camera for the front. It will be set up to record a specific area. I just want the option to move the camera if I need to focus on a different area when I am home or away using my phone. I settled on this system, but if anyone thinks there are better outdoors cameras please don't hesitate to let me know. These are the few NVR's I was think about. I would like the option to record for about a week and than record over old footage. Again I'm new to this so if this isn't how it is done let me know. I had a $3500 budget set aside for this, so if there is a better NVR out there I'm all ears. First pick https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1133775-REG/hikvision_ds_7608ni_e2_8p_2tb_8_channel_nvr_poe_2sata.html Others http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10649_i8726.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10649_i8725.html Thanks again and have a great weekend everyone.

If I'm home or using my phone and see something that I want to record that is out of the set area than I thought a PTZ would be useful. At the very least I could set it to act like a bullet cam and cover a certain area. If I needed it to zoom in on the corner or focus on a certain group I thought the ability to change direction of the cam would be helpful. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks Jerome. The reason I want a PTZ is because there have been a few shootings in the area. Last time is was right on the corner. I figured I could use the PTZ to track and zoom in if another group of people walk in the area. That way I can have the dome cameras for general coverage and a PTZ to focus on a certain area if needed. Also form what I can tell I can program the PTZ to scan a area.

Thanks a bunch

I just took another look at Hikivision and if they are as good as they look I'm sold. I can get 2 PTZ. One for front and one for back. http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10566_i8498.html Than get four of these for the rest. http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10531_i7563.html Would that be a good set up for a duplex? Also, Which NVR would you recommend http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10649_i8726.html http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10649_i8725.html Sorry for the rookie questions. I just have so much to do and zero time to do it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help.

Hello Boogieman. Thanks for the reply. I was checking those out, but the price looked too good and was afraid they would crap out after a couple years. So did you ever hear of Univision cameras? Are they better than Axis? I don't mind spending around $3500 so long as I can view and control cameras over ipad/phone, get good clear picture, good night vision, and some audio. I'll take another look at Hikivision.

Hey everyone sorry for being MIA. I had some family issues. I contacted one of the only people I could find that do the security cameras and for $3500 he said he can install 5 bullet cameras, 1 PTZ, an NVR, and a monitor. The problem I have is he said he uses Univision cameras and I can't find any info on them at all. A buddy of mine came over today and helped me drill the holes I need for my cameras and lights. I decided to make it easy on myself and take your advise and drilled on the top of the 1st floor. I have one set of holes for the ethernet cables for POE and a set of holes about 6 inches below that for motion detector flood lights. I priced out a system myself and her is what I came up with: (1) AXIS P5515-E PTZ http://www.axis.com/rs/en/products/axis-p5515-e (5) Axis 0547-001 M3026-VE http://www.axis.com/sa/en/products/axis-m3026-ve This is still around the 3500 mark and I think these cameras will be way better. Only thing is I have to install it myself and get an NVR. I can use my computer monitors and living room TV to view the cameras or just get a cheap monitor and mount it in the living room near my couch. So do you guys think I should go with Univision and have it install by the expert or go with Axis cameras and install myself. I will run the Cat6 cables myself either way tomorrow. If I mess up the connectors I can always have that guy come out an fix my mistakes.

Thanks Mattaggie. I'm getting a gigabit ethernet switch with POE connections and plan on running my interior cameras on that. I wanted to do the same for the outside cameras, but the drywall is already installed and painted up stairs so I can either go wireless for the outside cameras and have them places near the roof on the 2nd floor or have them wired, but place them lower on the walls between the 1st and 2nd floor. I have never done this before, but I'm assuming that the higher the placement the better. It gives a better FOV and more secure from someone trying to mess with them. I like the netgear, but just wondering if a ptz would be better for outdoors. Thanks again

Hello, I have recently started a renovation project and I am gutting my entire home room by room. I started with my study where I plan to have all me internet and ethernet connects setup. I just realized that now is the best time to set up a security system, but I don't know anything about this topic. I was hoping some people here could steer me in the right direction. - I need 4 cameras outside. I need to have them wireless because I already drywalled the 2nd floor. - I need 4 interior and these can be POE because I am just starting to gut downstairs. This is an apartment building and my apartment will be the only one with interior cameras. I'm looking for cameras that have: - POE (inside) and wireless battery options (outside) - 1080p -nightvision - PTZ - streaming option to view over iPhone/ipad while away -2 way audio My budget is about 2500. I was looking at Lorex, but I keep reading on here that they are trash. I just need some suggesting on brand and model cameras. Any help would be much appreciated since this is a last minute thing. EDIT: I was looking for a system that is "smart home" capable. I saw fair cameras on apple site that said home kit will work with it. Again it is Flir which I think is Lorex, so I am worried about quality.

Hi, Looking to set up my home for cctv and need a lot of help. Hopefully I can find the answers I need.
