Thanks Captainvideo. I got the hybrid/tribrid part So reputable companies to look for/at are: - hikvision - dahua I have no issues comparing specs. I mainly want WIFI cams (with possible drawbacks). And I will check other places on the forum. Regards CBY

Thanks for your replies captainvideo and tomcctv . What's a tribrid ? What's hybrid ? Search returns nothing in the site's search engine... Just point me in the right direction with company names that : - Are reputable - offer good or decent support - NVR - Record/Playback, etc. - WIFI CAMS (Different models and Makes) - Displayed in an HDMI output (quad or bigger) - Hopefully expandable (RAM, HDD) I want to put a separate WIFI network in he air just for the CAMs + NVR. I may get 1-2 that will be hardwired (this is not mandatory). There must be a ton of systems but I can't seem to find good systems that mention being open systems supporting different cam manufacturers. Ideally I would buy a system + cams and add mine on top of this (i.e. NVR 8 channel + 4 Cams (4 input free)) Thanks for any future input. Regards, CBY (HE)

Hi to all of you. There are so many different answers but none that I have found one that answers my needs. I've researched this all over with no real distinctive answer(s). Looking for: - NVR/DVR (LAN connected) - Good storage space (I can upgrade myself) - HDMI Out - Quad or better Output - 2 to 4 analog input - 8+ WIFI input - Different types of WIFI cameras (DLink, Panasonic, etc.) - Good interface (local Lan, Android and iOS) - Remote access (connecting to my LAN) --- I do NOT want to send to a 3rd party cloud service What are the GOOD manufacturers of NVR/DVR and host a good group of cameras (Resolution, PTZ, Storage, Playback, etc.) I could build a home system but... I'm tired of all the maintenance and sourcing parts. Thanks for future answers! CBY NOTE: I am NOT a noobie with IT/LAN/PC/IP/WIFI/NETWORKING.
