nejo 0 Posted September 9, 2014 Hi all, I want to have two (for now, four to five when complete) cameras watching my house, interior at first. I thought of using my Synology DS213j with their Surveillance Station at first, but I think it will be to weak to handle a couple of 720p cameras. Now I don't know what to do really, I prefer to not have a computer running 24/7 and I don't feel like spending 1K USD on a DVR/NVR. So, I thought I'd ask you guys for advice. What do you think? //nejo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan732 0 Posted September 9, 2014 You can get a NVR for under $350 that would handle up to 8 IP Cameras Now you just need to decide on cameras and how you are going to mount/wire them. I would look at IP cameras, analog is pretty much "dead" at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking IP cameras, either Foscam (which seem pretty easy to get hold of here in Sweden) or HIKvision, however they seem harder to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nejo 0 Posted September 11, 2014 Do you think the following would make a good, stable system? 1 NVR: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2014-Hikvision-NVR-8CH-Plug-Play-8CH-PoE-Up-to-5MP-Onvif-Network-video-recorder/638300_1984469384.html 2 Indoor dome cameras - HIKVISION DS 2CD2132: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/FREE-shipping-Hikvision-DS-2CD2132-I-3MP-Outdoor-Network-Mini-Dome-Camera-30M-IR-Digital-HD/638300_1397050451.html 2 Outdoor bullet cameras DS2CD2032: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2013-Hikvision-Original-infrared-gun-waterproof-network-camera-DS-2CD2032-I-3MP-IR-ip-camera-support/638300_1397052584.html Would come to a total of about 650USD.

Boogieman 1 Posted September 12, 2014 looks ok. The 2132 are outdoor cams as well not just indoor...keep in mind that they cannot be wall mounted without a braket.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
