    Hello all, look for advice and information on what route I should take on a camera system install. We've already had two packages stolen which was caught by the Ring doorbell. However, it's time to upgrade.

     

    Want:

    - NVR System

    - about 6-8 camera setup (I want to have one or two 4K cameras)

    - good night vision

    - remote viewing

    - continuous recording

    - do not want anything subscription based so no Arlo, etc.

    - I do not really have a budget in mind. I am willing to spend if the product is right.

     

    Questions:

    - What systems should I be looking at? Hikvision? Ubiquiti (seems a bit overpriced but I have Ubiquiti products powering my network throughout the house)? Lorex?

    - Is there a major difference or preference between dome and bullet cameras?

    - What other questions should I be asking myself and what else should I be considering?

     

    Any other information or guidance in the right directions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello all, look for advice and information on what route I should take on a camera system install.

     

    Here are the basics:

    - just moved into a new row home in Philadelphia so I only have a front door and garage door in the back. I am in a community so I am not too concerned with the garage side.

    - I have wired a Ring Pro doorbell to the front door in the meantime

    - I have Ubiquiti Unifi products for my home network using Cat6 (I can run more Cat6 to the cameras so that is not a problem)

    - HOA will not let me mount the cameras directly to the brick on the front of the house so I will need to get creative on how to mount them

     

    Wants:

    - monitor my front door and sidewalk in both directions. My front door is about 5-6 feet away from the sidewalk and elevated with a couple steps to the landing. A single camera above the door will only capture the entryway and sidewalk directly in front of the door so I think I will need three cameras.

    - something high-end that will work flawlessly

    - be able to view my cameras remotely

    - continuous recording (maybe up to a week?)

    - NVR system

     

    Questions:

    - What systems should I be looking at? Hikvision? Ubiquiti?

    - What cameras should I be looking for? Bullet? Dome? Need something that is HD at all lengths and does a good job at night as well

    - What are the different mount capabilities?

    - What other questions should I be asking myself and what else should I be considering?

     

    Any other information or guidance in the right directions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!
