[QUOTE="Blackbirdpilot, post: 4192311, member: 10482"] I built a pc based system running Blue Iris software on a dedicated pc. It is extremely flexible and has a LOT of features most of which I don't even use. One benefit is that I can use almost any brand of IP/wifi cam with it. I currently have Hikvision, Reolink, Amcrest, some stuff from Nellys etc. All of my cameras are hardwired except for one wifi camera from Reolink. Due to location I needed wireless. Its probably 100ft away from my router and the connection is rock solid. I liked that camera well enough that just bought my mom a Reolink NVR/camera package and it was super simple to set up and use. They have wired and wireless systems. The wired systems come with cable and can power the cameras via POE (power over ethernet) but you can also connect wifi cameras to them. When I was testing the system out before giving it to my mom it automagically found my existing wireless Reolink cam. If you want an extremely flexible system with an insane amount of features and dont mind having a dedicated pc for it Blue Iris is excellent and cheap for what you get. If you want super easy, less features but prob still everything you would want/need check out Reolink packages on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
