Have you tried other linux based surveillance software?
How would you compare them with synology?

Then you properly don't need the whole setup.
One wifi camera should be enough.
There's xiaomi mijia with 360 degree rotation if want to monitor at different angle
One more is xiofang for around rm100, records in 1080p, got smoke detector built in too.

Xiaomi mijia and yi is different?

Different but still using the same mi home app.
Also, If wall outlet a bit too far from the camera location, you could just grab usb cable extender.

Ok thanks.. my wall outlet a little bit too far.. hehe

i just have 13cctv installed,
just curious...how much does the bill will go up with 13 cctv?

seriously?Outdoor?xiaomi mijia?no IP66?

Oh yeah, it doesn't
For me I did install yi home 720p at my porch and still working for the last 2 years since it's placed at location where it's protected by rain/other weather conditionns
Do share if you have better recommendation for wifi camera

IP66-
the 1st digit 6-seal against dust
the 2nd digit 6-protection against water jet

Thanks for the advice. Yes, my house at klang valley, will pm you later.

Outdoor home series wireless IP cameras are rather expensive, if you're looking for Dlink or TP-link.

Alternatively, if you are looking for chinese products such as Dahua or Hikvision, it will be cheaper.

Fully agreed with you.I am using cheap chinese hikvision wired 2cd2032F-1(3MP) and served me (never believe in wireless, with my old asus rt-n66u). indoor camera really are not meant for outdoor.

Manage to source a backward support DVR for my non HD cameras.
Thanks to idealhometech who has help me to resolve the problem.
A very responsive and flexible seller.

Have anyone used PoE splitter before?

I am trying to connect non-POE camera to NVR which supports PoE. But then I bought two poe splitters from taobao recently, seems like fried after i plug them into the NVR.

NVR 7108N-SN/P
Camera DS-IPC-B32-I3
Poe Splitter
https://world.taobao.com/item/526279954114....59727.16.XJY3At

Using that for almost all my camera setup
But i only connect to external poe switch, don't have nvr with poe ports
Btw, can you connect to ezviz cloud on your nvr?
Just tested digi broadband, portforwarding is blocked by default. But if nvr connect to cloud, then no problem to view live stream outside home network

Anyone here used REOLINK RLC-410 before?

Are there difference types for poe splitters in the market? There's like 48v to 12v etc etc.. From PoE enabled NVR to non PoE camera, any idea what should I use?

I have never used ezviz cloud before. I only use IVMS app on my iphone to view the cameras. Any differences using ezviz cloud?

You are asking PoE NVR to Non-PoE IPCam, then you need to buy PoE IEEE 802.3af Splitter, Output must be 12V (Some big or PTZ Cam, use 24V). And check how many Watt also. Must match with your camera Voltage (V) and Power Consumption (W), if camera 4W, so ur Splitter must output at least 4W, or 0.33A.. (4W/12V = 0.33A)

IVMS is HIKVISION App, EZVIZ is P2P Cloud by HIKVISION and IVMS also support EZVIZ, using that, u no need DDNS and Port Forwarding. Suitable for those who use mobile broadband which don't hv public IP. Downside is, a bit slow compare to Public IP DDNS, and app/web playback no fast forward.

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of PoE splitter I need. Cos the last two splitter that I bought spoilt after plugging into the NVR. Maybe over voltage or whatever.

I heard ezviz cloud not so secure so dont dare to use. ahahahhaa. But so far DDNS/port forwarding seems to work for me.

And not always works for P2P for mobile broadband, they capped the speed at certain time.
