    Camera model selection advice

    I would recommend the T54IR-S3-3.6mm for all your locations except the garage I would do a T54IR-S3-2.8mm. The camera you already said is great too!

    SmartPSS delayed alarms

    It may just be a delay with the new router. It sounds like a networking issue not Smart PSS.

    Window coverage

    Most people have cameras mounted on the house facing out. Some will also have a camera facing towards their door in case they hear someone at the door or if a package was delivered. That camera is for my front door/packages.

    simple remote connectivity question

    I I would disagree with Open VPN being difficult if you get an Asus router. You click the slider next to Open VPN on the routers web login page. Then download Open VPN on the remote device you want (phone, tablet, laptop). Connect that remote device to same WiFi as router. Go to internet and...

    simple remote connectivity question

    I couldn’t agree more about getting an Asus router that already has the VPN built in. It saves a ton of frustration and headache. I know this by first hand experience unfortunately!

    simple remote connectivity question

    Can you setup Open VPN on the network the NVR is on? Then you could install Open VPN on your laptop and do it that way. There’s a few more steps if you decide to go that route.
