I am considering adding an NVR to my DIY NAS NVR system and this would be the perfect addition. PROS:Excellent image quality with 4MP camerasWide 3rd party camera support through ONVIF standardIR LEDs provide night vision capabilityGreat value for moneyCan record at 8MP 4K resolution, and output 4K over HDMICan record simultaneously to more than one hard drive for redundant storageUSB Backup featureLaView will customise the kit to your exact needsCONS:NoneCheck Price on AmazonBack to comparison tableOther popular NVR KitsToo many compromises: Zmodo 1080p 4 channel NVR Kit with 4 1080p PoE cameras and 1TB hard drive NVR Features4 channel recording @ 1080p supportedPoE but with proprietary cables1TB hard drive included, max. possible is a single 4TB hard driveMotion detection with email alertsRemote smartphone accessIP Camera Features3 axis black colour camera2MP CMOS image sensor 1080p2. 8mm lens10m IR range, true IR cut filterUSB to RJ45 connectorWeather proof The Zmodo really has the potential to be the budget king, and challenge Reolink’s dominance at the entry level. Where do I begin?Bizarre design choices such as using a micro USB cable and camera connections instead of regular old network cables and RJ45 ports, and deceptive marketing which then calls this a “network cable” which it is anything but!I have never ever seen a “network cable” that has one RJ 45 end and a USB connector at the other end. Hi Steve, thanks for dropping by!I call these NVR kits the EasyDIY solution to home CCTV but my preferred option is FullDIY where I run everything off one small NAS box, my QNAP TS 253A.

We’ve all dealt with photos that are too dark to make out any details. It’s frustrating when it’s a wedding photo, but it’s nerve racking when you’re trying to capture a face or license plate after a break in. Pay attention to the existing lighting in the areas where you want to install security cameras. Look for the night vision range of each camera and consider how much area you want to cover. And beware of using an indoor camera to look outside; they can’t usually capture images through a window or after dark. You cannot use cameras alone for home security.

This isn’t exceptional when it comes to DIY home security, however, since many have cellular connections. These connections work similarly to your cell phone plan and are more secure than traditional Wi Fi or landline connections. But it’s important to note that even if you’re doing the monitoring yourself, you’ll still be charged to keep your system up and running. Brinks Home Security is well recognized for offering professionally monitored security systems. These systems offer the flexibility of either professional or DIY installation. As a partner with Nest, they also allow you to choose between using their own equipment or Nest Secure equipment and monitoring. If you choose Nest Secure, Brinks will provide the ongoing staff and support for that system. Choosing Brinks comes at a premium price, but they do offer financing options for equipment at low or no interest. The monitoring itself is low cost, and it comes with a 2 year warranty although some options also require a 3 year commitment. There are steep early termination fees, but if you go with Nest Secure, there is an alternative month to month plan. Protect America delivers the home security system equipment to your door and allows you to handle the installation and setup yourself.
