Hello guys,

I am looking to get 4-6 POE cameras for my house. I have been reviewing the forum and Leaning towards IPC-T5442T-ZE. If I get these camera, what are the recommended nvrs that work best with them? I will eventually get a blue iris setup but want to get an Nvr to be able to get things off the ground until I do. Any suggestions? A plus if there is an app that works will with it.

also, do these cameras come in a bundle or do you usually buy them separately?

Thanks!
 
For instance stepping up to the Wizmind I/L series (2x?$) basically moves the AI functions to the NVR vs the one I showed you which works with the cameras doing the AI.
It's got an impressive list of Face detection/Recognition features (two different things) but we;ve seen many of these higher AI functions work only under ideal controlled conditions and you wont likely use it.
NVR5216-16P-I/L

WHat many of us have found is its better to do what you can at the camera as each scene/location is very different with different requirements. What you need at your front door is very different than what you need to cover your backyard.

Could I replace my Lorex N881A6 NVR with this NVR one that does AI? I have 4 Lorex LNB9272S that doesn't have AI.
 
I think thats what Bigredfish was referring to. a 5 series with POE powered ports. in 8 channel capacity. also available on 16 ch capacity.
You get english firmware, and probably support thru Empiretech Andy who sells these on this forum


 
I think the I series I referenced that does AI on the NVR would in theory work with non-AI cameras but I cant be sure. Best to ask Andy @EMPIRETECANDY
NVR5216-16P-I/L
Its a bit tricky because while the one I first referenced and that @Flintstone61 links to do have some AI capability, I think it has to be matched to AI capable cameras
