20 cam, PoE

I suggest you buy 32ch Non POE NVR and get a 24 port POE Ruijie switch. Camera preference how many Mp?

might be wrong here, but isn't network (LAN) NVR "unlimited" ports ?

I think 4Mp above and preferably if have microphone.

hi sifus, can anyone advise whats wrong with my cctv?
I recently found out that my cctv isn't able to record clearly (starting from 5:30pm late afternoon)...it is already this bad and it goes totally blackout as the night falls until next morning 8am.

However, in the morning 8am to afternoon 4pm, it is extremely clear and before this, it is quite clear all the time (night/midnight/morning/evening). I am not too sure what's going on. Been using this cctv for approximately about 9 months++ Can anyone clarify this? sorry to bother you sifus. tqtq and it appreciate it very much

The model of this particular cctv is wireless xiaomi imilab home security camera A1 1080p 360 degree (model: CMSXJ19E)

It seems that the house breakin cases has dropped dramatically during MCO.
My cctv are all now useless...haha

Try change adapter see any difference. I suspect not enough Amp to power the IR or did you set to color only setting? Not familiar with Xiaomi ipc but this is the general issue for problem like this.

understood. you are precisely correct. many thanks for your prompt reply sir. its fine now after i adjusted the color only setting and restart. appreciate it very much  

Hi,

Sorry, newbie here. I wish to install CCTV at my house (double storey) and would want to  DIY.

Looking into wireless, thinking of this set EZVIZ 4 x C3W 4MP 2K Surveillance System X5S 8 Channel Wireless Kit -> https://s.lazada.com.my/s.dYorA

What you think of it? Or any other recommendation that have the same price range or top up a bit?

Thanks a lot.

The 4 places you intend to install the camera already have power outlets?
I don't know how dark is the below YT review for night time color but am not impressed with their color night view at all.

Yup have power outlets and house running mesh, WiFi coverage should be no issue.

I see, is there any other model or brand, you would recommend?

Thanks

You can consider CamHi IPC with Sony 335(5Mp) CMOS Sensor or in fact any wifi ip camera with this sensor with ONVIF support. Cheaper and better night time quality.

Thanks, is the EZVIZ X5S-NVR good enough?
