Security cameras and NVR

arachnoid

I've set up a dedicated PC and network for it to keep traffic isolated (bandwidth). Unless you plan dozens of cameras you should be OK with an i5 SFF PC and WD Purple disk.

Ahh... which 8K kit did you get??

MrM

I don't, I just said they were unreal from what I've seen. I have the 4K

RajP

I would always go NVR over a PC. BlueIris is pretty overkill for most domestic installs. NVRs just do the job, no antivirus or windows updates, easier to manage, designed to work with cameras plug n play, works with the apps. They are a Ronseal product, does what it says on the tin. Also much cheaper than buying an i5 NUC, Windows license, blue Iris License and a Switch.

I would concur with this... a dedicated component is always going to be better then a multi purpose component. It just has one job to do and continues to do so.
