You should not fully trust his security camera reviews, they are clearly very problematic.

Just use a 'G5' hikvision firmware and you should be good to go.
The TFTP method can be used when you accidentally brick your camera.
Primary goal would be to be able to review footage, secondary to access live over the internet. Thanks!

- A micro-SD card
- A cloud subscription
- An NVR
- A computer running NVR software (like Blue Iris)
This assumes you already have the 'infrastructure' in place (cabling, power injector or PoE capable switch or PoE capable NVR)
Quick search, NVR specs look good - looks like a Hikvision OEM NVR kit \
Looks like it should work, remember it may not be 100% plug and play - you may need to sync IP, port, user / password and perhaps video channel info. ( that noted, sometimes things do turn out to be plug and play - so I'd give it a try )
NVR specs
Third-Party network cameras supported
· Up to 8MP resolution recording
· HDMI output at up to 3840x2160P resolution
VGA output at up to 1920x1080P resolution

Yes, or use existing holes (for old land lines, etc).
You have to be home to shoot em 🙄
Caulk around the holes or use cover plates

Hi! I think this camera is a bit expensive if you want to outfit over 4 cameras into an ONVIF (a "universal" protocol that allows for greater compatibility and expandability) system.
Ive found H265+ supported 1080p cameras which utilize approximately 2 Mbps for around $35 and they use about 64 GB a week.
I understand 4K sounds attractive but I don't think it's worth this price tag especially not supporting WiFi (with 5Ghz)
To build a system:
1) You need either a dedicated machine to consume and display the live capture or you need a cloud service which supports direct capture from this camera. I don't think 4K is an "easy" thing for a cheap system (I think a raspberry pi running Shinobi or Zoneminder to capture and broadcast over the web is out of the question due to the high resolution). There are a lot of object detection models and face recognition plug-ins for shinobi including tensorflow and Yolo. The ONVIF compatibility of this camera is a major plus.
2) You need to have enough cabling to run ethernet to each camera into a "dedicated" router or through switches to allow for a network which allows recording and backing up into a Cloud.
3) You want for this particular camera at least 2 TB for at least 2 weeks worth of storage for 4 cameras (I could be wrong but building this system then the most expensive thing would be the dedicated machine followed by the cameras themselves). Luckily ONVIF will allow you to see the native stream even on your phone!
Thanks and repped @05OTMPSQ

Ipcamtalk is a horrible website, run by an egotistical insecure tyrant

1) re: ipcamtalk
As you probably know, forums grow and change.
ipcamtalk has a significantly larger number of volunteers now helping out, balancing the work load better and thus it is significantly different when there was too much spam / astroturfing as well as follow up to numerous questions for one person to handle.
I think most will find ipcamtalk a better resource now, and like other forums ( such as SDs ) it is naturally not a perfect forum and each participant has their bias.
2) Issues noted in #1 still does not change the facts on "FYI - The Hookup makes misleading review videos:"
I've documented a lot of security camera info here on SDs, however SDs forum format is not as good for that purpose. Unfortunately in each tread here numerous amounts of information seems to need to be repeated.
Thankfully, SDs community is getting more knowledgeable about this topic and that helps a lot.
The thread I created in ipcamtalk is meant as a resource where you can have examples and a proper fair criticism of various slanted pro-Reolink astroturf / paid for reviews / Reolink bribed reviews.
If you have a youtube Reolink video capture of a moving subject and would like me to include a reference to it, please do let me know.
Ideally real world low light image capture examples which compare various cameras would be great.
