Hi Steve, thanks for dropping by!I call these NVR kits the EasyDIY
solution to home CCTV but my preferred option is FullDIY where I run everything off one small NAS box, my QNAP TS 253A. I have 4 cameras and the QNAP Surveillance Station takes care of my needs nicely with redundant storage and an OpenVPN server all for under $500. The QNAP Surveillance STation software hasn’t changed much in the last 3 years but its reliable and does the job. You can check out a live demo on this page. It should give you a taste for the software. Synology is another option but I haven’t tried it personally. Dear Daniel, bless your generous tech loving heart for this blog!I am a grandma who doesn’t speak the language, and in desperate need of security. For months, the
RingPro was all I could barely understand. I still couldn’t answer the question: would this set up, or ones like it, incur extra charges for data usage on my Comcast internet bill?In my mind the video to their storage equaled streaming. Told ya. More importantly, I held off because I knew there was a better way.
Alarm. com and iControl are the two biggest. The former has partnered
with more than 2,500 dealers and the latter with ADT and Comcast. Among other things, you’ll have to decide between a “cellular primary” or “broadband primary” system. The former is a wireless connection to the monitoring station, making it immune to power outages or someone cutting a cable. It is limited, however, with regard to transmitting large quantities of video, so many cellular primary systems incorporate broadband for video.

What would be ideal is if
something could be done to bridge the gap between the growing demand and how and where to find the resources needed in order to help individuals cope. There are so many new terms cropping up each day along with new meanings and terminology to understand. This is not going to change so we might as well settle into a comfortable position. We also need to find ways to teach others how to deal with and use some of the more important mechanisms on the Internet. So where do we start?I am going to leave you with a great starting point. One that can help launch you into a great adventure using the Internet.
