Hi, I am looking to get a CCTV system for home my requirements are 8 cameras total on 2 floors. I would want access via internet and also a backup of the recordings. How to do this in India. Cany advice is welcome. Newbie here in home CCTV system.
some tips remain same as here
CCTV Camera / Security setup for home
backup will be done by dvr. It usually stores 1-2 month of recording but you can ask the vendor for extra space to keep backup for more time depending on hdd.
CP plus dvrs connect to router and using gcmob mobile app you can see them on phone. The dvr needs to be port forwarded before using. All this is setup by the camera person though.
I dont suggest doing all of this yourself as it will be difficult. You will require 8 channel dvr/nvr with a broadband connection minimum.
you can rely on cp-plus, godrej, tp-link(ip and poe cams). Hikvision is good company but there were complaints of it forwarding footages to chinese servers etc.
Also, you need to finalise how many cameras you need inside(dome cameras) and outside(weather proof bullet cameras) depending on place of installation.
