Thanks for another great video. It helps a lot. I’ve been going through a rabit hole trying to find the best security system for my needs. There’s maybe something else that I would add to the list: NVR security. I’ve read that isolating your NVR from the internet with firewall rules is really important to prevent hackers from getting inside your network. What are your thoughts about that? And are you doing something else to protect your system and network when installing these devices? Thanks again!

@GeorgeLangabeer Ай бұрын

NVR security is very important. Nowadays there are a lot more options to maintain your camera system privacy. Alibi for example uses a Peer to Peer connection. So instead of your router & port forwarding like the old days (which is the least secure), your system is being hosted on a secure server with end to end encryption. The sole purpose of that method is to maintain your privacy.

@GeorgeLangabeer Ай бұрын

This is another example of “you get what you pay for”. If you go for the cheaper entry level “big box” systems, your privacy is more at risk, because those companies barely have privacy on their road map. Yet another reason to always go professional grade.

Great Great and informative. How do we protect our NVR from being stolen along with the other items? Because the NVR has the footage only?

@GeorgeLangabeer 14 күн бұрын

I’ve been doing this for over 20 years & have installed NVRs for thousands of people & I’ve never had one stolen…BUT, if you’re really worried about, install the NVR somewhere a thief wouldn’t look. Like a laundry room, or a closet that has power (or add power to a closet). There are plenty of places you can install one if you get creative.

Regarding a wired system. Is the wiring that comes with the kit sufficient or would you recommend upgrading? I ask because my uncle is a retired contractor and we both installed a system on my mom's house. He insisted going with a better quality Cat 5 wire. I'm just not sure if I want to spend that extra money.

@GeorgeLangabeer 14 күн бұрын

It’s worth it. I’d at least upgrade to Cat5e or Cat6.

Thanks! We are looking at a solar camera system, having 140ft across the front of our home, and 80ft to the dirt road from the front of the house, distance is our consideration. Local people watch our home, and have drained our fuel from our motor home, or brazen as they are, just kick or bust out the window. Sheriff office tells us do we have proof, yes we need cameras. Looking at the eufy system, but any help would be appreciated, thanks Charlie and Linda

I've studied this for many days trying to decide what is best for me. Everything I learned is explained in your video. Great job. I wanted something easy for my parents to be able to view, they aren't so great with phone apps and stuff. I installed a Tapo camera because the app is about as simple as it gets. I'll install another camera and perhaps one indoors. I guess the only thing not mentioned in this video is some cameras can back-up the video on a memory card and or cloud storage. Or someTapo cameras use a hub that you can put a memory card in. Tapo also gives you a free 30 day cloud storage for every camera that you buy. And perhaps another topic is some cameras have AI features, such as people detection, animal detection, and others.
