When Should a person setup his/her own server versus buying a NVR?
I am debating setting up a server versus buying an NVR. I have decided on Hikvision Cameras. I have 1 DS-2CD2332-I installed with a Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW on order. I wil have a max of 6 cameras. I have the skills to create a server. I was searching and cannot find a thread about people discussing this (although I am probably not using the correct terms). I have a dsc security system. I like the idea of possibly integrating the security cams with my security system. I am new to the IP camera world. I am into home automation. I have a homeseer server.
Thoughts?
Thanks for any and all thoughts/suggestions
