I've been planning to install cameras at home and was considering Ubiquiti or Synology. What do you folks recommend? I'm looking for something with local storage but still has a slick app.
- tw04 6y agoIf you want something that "just works" I would venture down the synology path but be prepared to spend $$$ on camera licenses for any sizeable installation. If you don't mind rolling your own, Blue Iris is probably the most extensible with the downside that it requires far more manual configuration.
- dayjobpork 6y agoI bought a 2nd hand hp i5 to run Blue Iris, poe switch and a couple of dahua cams. The set up was pretty straightforward, there is info on the insanely toxic ipcamtalk site on recommended Blue Iris settings. Basically you need an Intel CPU to support hardware encoding and use less power, and specific setting to save the vids without reencoding.
