    hi folks I have a house in the country with a yard beside it and a bit of a drive way, have ducts into entrance of drive way and clear line of sight to the yard. I’m pretty handy with networking from work. I’m wondering if someone can recommend a kit with 8ip cameras and nvr. I do understand the yard 150m away I will have to get p2p to get video from there, I don’t mind I have power in the yard. I intend to bring out data outside using data over power cables getting 40mb per second so I’m happy with that. But I have no clue about what setup/manufacturer. Any installer quotes are massive but won’t tell me anything about brand or models. So any and all help is appreciated.

    I bought a cheap model a few years ago which came with 4 x UHD cameras (QVIS). I should have known it was 'end of line' or something akin to it.

    It was not long before I discovered that neither the cameras nor the nvr could be fully managed from a modern browser. I have forgotten the details but do recall active X being one requirement. I think Windows OS was also a necessity.

    Anyway I still use those cameras, but now have set up my own dedicated system running AgentDVR with CodeProject AI on a Coral Edge TPU. I have full control over what happens. True it is not "as neat" as the commercial NVR but I control it and can update it, unlike the NVR. The AI takes care of confirmation of such as 'person, vehicle' or whatever else I want to record. Minimal false positives these days.

    There are several software options should you wish to go that way. I paid for the hardware and the software is free for home use.
