Hello!

What do you guys think is the best plug&play NVR hardware?

I am searching for a NVR for my home installation.
I really dont want a "windows-pc" as a NVR, thats why i am asking.

Thank you very much!:classic_biggrin:

My budget is up to about 600 USD for a NVR, without HDD.

I think we will have up to 6 or 8 ip cameras.

 

Thank you!

Hello tomcctv!
No PTZ anymore.


I dont know the difference about bullet or turret but I will try to find a camera that has good low light vision.

-Good low light vision.
-Wired PoE
Budget 100-200USD.

I dont know how much a good NVR cost.

Generally, I think you have to use the same NVR manufacturer to make full use of that cameras features; and in most (if not all) cases you just can't connect, for example, a Hikvision cam to a Dahua NVR

If you think you want to mix cam manufactures then you're looking at a hardware NVR (basic PC) coupled with a VMS like Milestone, Luxriot (both have free versions) or any other of commercial or free VMS of your choosing.

There is nothing wrong with sticking with a Dahua NVR

No problem. 

There are only a few big cctv manufactures and most of them are in China so you don't have a broad list of options to choose from. Dahua has been mentioned here for years so they are pretty reliable.

I will buy this camera Dahua HDW5231R-ZE https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/14251?us

About 4-8 pcs.

Should i take a Dahua NVR or another hardware NVR?


Thank you for advices!!

Like already surgested stick with the same manufacture .

but if your going the NVR route then I would alter your choice of camera ....you don't need the extra expense of using a camera with onboard recording via SD card. But if you want to use that option you need to include a Poe switch into your install so you can access the SD card from a PC
