Hi, I plan to do so with Synology, and is currently looking for which CCTV camera to get (which brand & model) for my current renovating house.

I am actually considering Reolink IP POE Camera but I am not sure if it can be integrated with Synology.

I used before TAPO indoor camera but wonder will it look neat with the socket installed near the ceiling for this kind of wireless camera because the adapter will be seen.
Whereas if I go for Reolink / Hikvision IP POE camera, I might be able to hide the LAN cable underneath the CCTV base or maybe can make the LAN cable barely noticeable from far.


Could you kindly share some of your experiences why you stop using IP camera and also how is the overall integration work between ONVIF camera and Synology?

Thanks

Appreciate your thoughts

I prefer to have a CCTV system that really serves the purpose. Still looking around for options, prefer something that is reliable and last long especially outdoor one. Prefer NOT to use wifi one even they are easy to setup. In the end I still need to pull power line, why not just go for POE I think.

I had some Hikvision cameras with NVR, not POE, they last long but image quality not as good.

As for Synology surveillance station that only support 2 free cameras for free, it seems like I won't use it as I might have 16 cameras in total (indoor & outdoor). Also my nas might not strong enough in video transcoding.

Appreciate if you could suggest some CCTV system or camera models, I will looking into it.

Thank you =)
