jimerb 0 Posted June 25, 2017 Hi, Can a pro / expert here give me advice on what would be you're number one pick on a system that has these requirements for a surveillance kit: * MUST HAVE: I need to be able to keep all ports on the router/firewall closed. No port forwarding or NAT changes. * MUST HAVE: No Yearly cloud fees * MUST HAVE: Mobile access with an app * MUST HAVE: Night vision * Need about 8 cameras * DVR - 1+TB is fine * Would like the option of adding 1 very good camera that pivots and zooms in with great optical range. I Don't mind spending up to about $600 on this camera. If you can recommend one, that's great but I'm looknig for the system to support it. * It would be good if the cameras connected over Ethernet (POE). Easier to get cabling. * Price is not a major concern but I'd like to keep it under $1500. I spent about 10 minutes searching for previous posts here. Didn't see exactly what I was looking for... Any shared expertise would be fantastic! Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mobile apps will work with any decent camera For good night vision, Check out Dahua Starlight or Hikvision Ultra low light cameras. Dahau has a couple of PTZ starlights under $600.
