High Quality and Frame Rate Local Network Remote View

[andig 0]

Hi Folks,

 

I am new to this so please bear with me.

 

I would like to DIY my Home CCTV installation and intend to use an 8 channel DVR either HIKVISION or DAHUA.

 

I need:

• 
  I initially thought of wireless HDMI extenders + High Range Cordless Mouse. This is too expensive and beyond my budget. I already have a house wide 300MBPS WiFi with repeaters. I believe my TVs browser is not enough to view the stream. So my questions are :
  
  • 
    Can't use a Windows PC so Internet Explorer and ActiveX control installation rules out.
    Can I use a standard Dual Core Android 4.2.2 HDMI Dongle to View the stream ?
    Can this be done without the bundled APP. The demo from the dealer showed pretty poor frame rates. Is it due to network constraints or APP limitation ?
    If yes do I get to control it ?
    Since it is running on local network and bandwidth can be guaranteed, do I get similar visual quality as on the local HDMI/VGA Port of the DVR
    Can a Raspberry Pi be used as a Remote Monitor ? I have got a few lying around. I can then use the SNMP to trigger physical I/O ports on the RPi
    

 

Regarding SMS,

I am not allowed to use PUSH notifications at work so can anything OR service/gateway be worked out that can convert the raised Alarm events into SMS. BTW I am in India.

 

Best Regards

Sougata
