c Ah! No kits make perfect sense. I never thought about certain cameras working best according to their placement and limitations. I think I’d like to just “start” with an NVR, and graduate to a PC loaded with Blue Iris once I’ve gotten my feet wet. Is that a difficult transition? Thank you...

That is just AWFUL! I cannot stand thieves! :angry:

If you don't mind, which LED lights do you have? I'm wondering if we should install lights as well.

Absolutely! Especially if the cameras’ random outbursts drive home the primary reason for installing them. Could you imagine the looks on my neighbors’ faces when my Dahua shouts, “get the f*ck off of my lawn?” Or better yet, “hey, don’t let your dog $hit here!” Not only would it be effective...

Thank you so much for this information. It’s been very helpful. Yes, a lot to read and learn, but it’s given me a starting point. I’m leaning toward the LED cameras for the added light. If low light were not an issued, which cameras would you recommend? Also, I’ve seen sets of Dahua cameras...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I plan to buy everything that will be needed to install the system myself, but thanks bunch for telling me about the best cable to use. Oh, and thanks for reminding me to test before installing. That is something I could potentially forget.

What do you mean by "D or K stuff?" As far as the wiring goes, I have an electrician who will run the wires and put the cameras where I want them. As much as I'd like to save money by installing myself, I definitely have no skills in that area.

Thank you for your concern, however I came to this site for the sole purpose of getting help from individuals who are eager to help those with a similar situation as mine. I understand some technical knowledge is necessary, and despite my "cry for help," I am not ignorant to technology, I'm just...

That makes a lot of sense. I have WIFI cams in the house, Wyze, but they are mostly for keeping an eye on where my parrots are in the house. I don't have full confidence in the "everything wireless" world.

Thank you so much! I know I'm going to need help, and I'll welcome all I can get.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have looked at Dahua before joining, but because it wasn't part of a "system," I felt intimidated and out of my league, so to speak. I couldn't figure out if the NVR actually came with preinstalled software, or if I had to find some software on my own. I stumbled...

Thank you for the warm welcome and guidance. I thought the higher pixel was better for zooming in on objects. One of the reasons for installing cameras outside is to catch which neighbor is letting their dog use our lawn as a toilet, I figured the higher pixel would be best. However, at night...

I’m definitely willing to learn, but I have to be honest, I just want some cameras that’ll allow me to check on my house when I’m not home, keep record of the goings on if needed, and “feel more secure” that no one is trying to gain access into my property without an invitation, and if they do...

Hi everyone. I thought what I was looking for was simple, but I guess I was wrong. Simply put, I just want a POE security camera system for the outside of my home, with “maybe” adding some indoors down the line. I prefer 4K with color night vision. I was leaning heavily toward Lorex, but their...
