Anyone have some recommendations for an IP camera security system? I think I can get away with just 4 cameras.

Want to be able to record/view live/online. Having 1 wireless camera would be ideal, but can wire all if needed.

Thanks
Jason

A lot of the combination DVR / Multiplexers will have a specific IP address you can setup easily. You just plug in an Ethernet cable and setup. A lot handle 4 or 8 cameras.

I used the Alert system by Logitech. They are HD 720P cameras that do IP over power line. All you do is hook a command box to your home router and then plug these cameras into power outlets and they are set up. You do not need to run wires up your wall and through your attic. The system sends 16 FPS and is almost real motion in high def.

They also have microphones in each camera so you can listen to live or recorded audio. They have IR for night recording. I personally use the outside camera's inside as they are better at night.

I can view all of my cameras from my commander software on my computer, through any web browser and I have an app that lets me view them via my iPhone. They tend to be a bit better at night.

Another great feature is each camera has a 2 GB SD card in them so if your computer is off, they record to the camera directly and then download when your computer comes back on. The computer does not need to be on for you to watch live or the recorded video from the web or a phone app.

They are more pricey, but the ease of setup and features make them worth it. I have two teen age kids and I when I go out of town I can rest easy there are no parties at my house.

Do you want to record or just view? Is this for home or work?
Sony, Panasonic, LG, Samsung all make varieties of IP cameras. Low light? Night vision? POE? You need a a good switch too. If you just want to view most you can do on a web browser.

Forgot to mention,

We are a Mac household, so any software will need to work with my macs.

Great looking systems!

View and record. Home system, prob want a couple of night cameras, outdoors. 1-2 day cameras also.

Home security is the goal. Have a decent wired network in place

Check out Fry's (I see you're in CA and lucky enough to have them) and a lot of the other big electronic warehouse style stores. Most of them will carry a starter pack which comes with everything you need (including up to 4 cameras).

I use ARLO, you can view it live if you arm the system. The cameras will record on motion and sound, you can adjust the sensitivity of both. You get free cloud storage for up to 7 days if there's a clip you want to save you can download it. It alerts you when a camera is tripped you can watch the clip from your phone or go live to the camera that was tripped. The base station is connected to your router the cameras are wireless with rechargeable batteries. It also allows you to set off an alarm from your phone or you can configure it to set off the alarm when a camera is tripped.

I'd like more input on this I'm tech stupid. But I'm wanting to do this soon before the new car arrives.

I would need 4 cameras at the most. I don't want to pay an f'n "subscription" and would prefer cameras that use wifi.

I personally like Lorex stuff.

S2K+1LE · 08-10-2018, 11:51 AM

I'm interested in this as well. I'd love to know who has had success with good brands and setups, specific brands and models would be greatly appreciated.

I am not personally interested in products from Chinese-owned companies. I'm aware that production for most will be in China, I just prefer not to support the ZTEs of the world.
