jw9424 0 Posted December 28, 2013 Hi, I just started setting up an ip camera system. I've got three hikvision 2032 bullets so far. I'm looking for a standalone NVR that is compatible with my cameras. Any thoughts on a solid NVR that is reasonably priced. Say around $500 or less? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ak_camguy 0 Posted December 28, 2013 I utilize a NAS device to backup all of my cameras. I was on really old software and I had problems with the camera's stopping to record data once the hard disk was full. In the new software they allow you to overwrite so that shouldn't be a problem anymore. I would suggest a 500GB drive/drives to be on the safe side. I have had problem with drives any larger. You could build a cheap 500GB Raid1 NAS for about $300, including the 2 hard drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just seeing if there were any other comparable NVR's out there in the same price range. I think this is probably the best way to go just for compatibility. Thanks for the reply.
