Residential Security

Recommended Posts

I've read enough of the posts to get an idea on some issues with the low end systems. Frankly it doesn't surprise me in the least bit that a low tier device has issues with failures in outdoor environments.

 

I'm considering options for using cameras around my home. I have extra computers. I don't have cameras or a way to interface them with a PC. I don't really need a DVR with it's own storage capacity as I have plenty of hard drive space available.

 

I'd like to get an idea of options for value on cameras and interfacing with a PC. I understand that DVR's may be the only option on the market to connect all of the cameras to. But a primer on things to avoid or to do would be very helpful.

 

Thanks!

Karl

Im a PC guy myself too, some say a geek...

 

I've built my own HTPC's (DVR's) and use Silicondust's prime for DLNA TV viewing, works awesome.

 

 

When it came to security cameras i wanted simplicity, thats why I went with Swann NVR series. They also support NAS storage if needed. Installations a breeze since they're POE.
