Surveillance Cameras Wireless Motion Activated

[4.545 lb] Added this third Deco X55 to better service the wireless doorbell and surveillance floodlight at front of house. Really like this mesh system and the ease of adding additional access points. The system also balances itself for optimum strength and seamless roaming.

[50 Devices] There are lots of free applications for IP Cameras, but if you're serious about IP Surveillance you can't do better than Axis Camera Station, and the best way to acquire the licenses is from B&H.

[10 Gb/s ] I wanted to set up some surveillance cameras that required PoE, and this switch required little technical knowledge and worked right away!

[Clamp] On a whim, I thought I'd try using this to hold my tablets on my desk while working and watching news and surveillance cameras. Put on mini, adjustable tripods which allows me to add more devices on already cluttered desktop without adding too much footprint.

[1 x 100 W] We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.

[550 TB] We've been using the Purple WD hard drives for several years on our surveillance cameras. The have worked flawlessly. The price is reasonable and it's a snap to install and initialize.

[70 G] My surveillance NVR came with a 2TB hard drive, with 8 cameras it needed more storage. This WD Purple 8TB provided that extra storage capacity.

[0 Lux] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera system is amazing. Set up and install of this camera system is very easy. Love the fact that it is a wireless system and the motion detection is great. The speed of the motion detection is practically real time. The app is very easy to navigate and provides step by step instruction. I love the fact that it is wireless because I was able to reposition the cameras to different places of the house when traveling. It also has human recognition and 2-way talk which is a great feature. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

[0.1 lb] Appreciated being able to buy multiple licenses that can just be activated as needed.
