Wired outdoor camera system
We are looking for 3 wired outdoor cameras that record to a DVR (not cloud) but also have an app for viewing in real time. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

EDIT: They look identical. Except for the Black vs White cameras. Lorex has been known to do this. The systems could be almost 100% the same but the newer one is the old MSRP while the "Older" one drops a couple hundred to move it out. I have a couple older IP cams where they did this.notenoughsleep wrote: ↑ Can anybody explain what the difference between these 2 systems are? They look almost the same can't figure why the second one is $135 cheaper

Are you pretty happy with the reolink? Amazon has a $80 off coupon so it's significantly cheaper than the lorex right now.Drthorne wrote: ↑ I have 2 Reolink cameras so far, records to Synology NAS using it's Surveillance Station app. The reolink mobile app works well. They have a 4 camera NVR bundle on Amazon for $550

Yes, works well and was easy to configure. I am thinking about buying another for the backyardnotenoughsleep wrote: ↑ Are you pretty happy with the reolink? Amazon has a $80 off coupon so it's significantly cheaper than the lorex right now.

We just got a hikvision and you are correct about the learning curve...they don't make it easy. I downloaded the manual online (194 pages) and I am reading it to understand most of the features. Does yours have audio btw? We were told that audio in Canada is illegal? Also, can you pan tilt zoom your model? Not sure if I can on mine yet lol

Unless you run your own web server at home, any system that allows access through an app will involve some degree of cloud.

No audio on mine and can't pan/tilt. I've been happy so far, no down time and get around 30 days of recording from 3 cameras on a 2 TB drive.boneca wrote: ↑ We just got a hikvision and you are correct about the learning curve...they don't make it easy.
