cjloki Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 now that I'm starting to get settled into my new house it has become clear that imma need to build a small budget minded yet semi-powerful camserver for 24/7 overwatch of say 10 cameras. I'm thinking of mini atx or itx with most likiely a new ryzen and modest amounts of ram and storage for the job. I am really getting with the new amd and have loved the x570 tuf but it seems like way overkill for this application. so im open to ideas and suggestions for cam and security options if anyone has some thoughts and experience it would be greatly appreciated thanx cj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHKCommander959 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 PoE cameras are the way to go, amazon has a ton of them cheap. What price range are you looking at? Sometimes you can score used ones on ebay, if you're really trying to save money. We've been using Unifi at work, but its at least 130usd/camera usually. Setup is simple though with the cloud key gen2. All in for 10 cameras, cable, a cheap 10+ port PoE switch, and cloud controller nvr would be about 2000 probably. The g3 cameras are about 4W each, so most switches would be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjloki Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 ...and B&H has that nvr1218 for a reasonable price which lets me add cams a couple at a time... this could be something to consider... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
