Can you share your favorite brands for the key components?
- sxates 4y agoNot OP but I have a Ubiquiti 'UniFi Protect' system in my home that works well. Lots of different cameras to choose from, including a doorbell.
- vladsanchez 4y agoThanks for sharing, though pricey, quick ROI based on Nest and Ring pricing.
- vorpalhex 4y agoI'm going with Ubiquiti. I tried some of the cheap brands and was unsatisfied with their NVR solutions. Ubiquiti was the affordable and good business class option with HomeAssistant integration. I dropped details in a sibling comment.
- instaclay 4y agoI have ubiquity cameras around my property and they work great. I initially had just a UVC-NVR but upgraded to the DreamMachine. I had headaches at first because my DreamMachine's SATA port was faulty and had a poor connection to the HDD. I used 4 different HDD's to prove this, and getting Unifi support to agree with me was about impossible. They ended up giving me an RMA with a "yeah, buddy.. I'm suuuuure it's the SATA port." I had to pay to post the RMA for a machine that never actually worked. The exchanged DreamMachine has been working quite well for over a year now though. If I were to do it again I'd buy it from a reseller instead of directly from Ubiquity for better product support.
- dijonman2 4y agoI live in a humid area and all my Ubiquiti cameras died within a year. If the NVR powered off without a shutdown mongo would get corrupted, losing all recording metadata. I could import videos but what a pain. I went with Hikvision and wouldn’t look back.
