Need Expert advice on a Good Kit with certain Requirements..

Recommended Posts

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.

Jimbo, look into setting up a VPN server on your router. Not the VPN to hide porn use, you want a VPN server.

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.
