Each camera has its own analog connection wire. I am looking for a dvr box that I can connect to a home server and run something like Shinobi. I currently have this dvr box https://ellipsesecurity.com/product/hdtvi08b-tru-view-hd-tvi-8-channel-hd-security-dvr/ , but i don't think it can automatically forward video to a home server

I am using G3 bullets. Cheapest ones they have, but clear enough.

Interesting - they don't seem available at all now. Even the G4s are more expensive than the G5s.

but yeah, what a huge jump from cheapest G5 to next one up ($130 to $379), plus you need at least the UNVR.

You can use a cloud key, which is a little cheaper, but still pricy.

I see that now, thanks!

Of course, an answer leads to a new question - if the 1TB storage of the CloudKey+ sufficient for a house with 4 cameras or so. I guess if I stay at the 2K Bullet, and it only records motion, it should be enough for a week or two.

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

1tb gives me about a week of full record for 6 2K cameras, but motion captures seem to be more. You can switch the disk out fairly easily as well. So you should be find with 4 cameras and 1TB.

Yea it’s still worth it for the interface which is so much better than other systems I’ve seen.
