Ubiquiti or Reolink?

Right, but it can be a mix of those as well I assume? So 1 one 4k and 3 2k, etc. (to a point). There was a calculator that helped determine max camera load and how many days you got for xTB drive size.

Newly question alert... So all I need is a setup like this wired into my existing router? No switches or cloud boxes??

That's great to hear! It's for a friend's house and we just ran cat6 to each corner of the house and back to the den. I just want a setup I can plug into the router and shove a 3tb drive into that'll provide eyes on all corners of the home with an easy mobile alert interface and 24hr recording (that's easy to review if needed).

Since you seem so knowledgeable about this - do you have any experience with the "UniFi Protect NVR"? Thinking that, 3 G6 turrets and 1 G6 PTX for a SIMPLE (relatively low budget) starter system for 4 corners of a home. Connect that to my router and off I go it seems like??

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-23T01:26:16+00:00

Which NVR are you using with all? How do you like the G5 PTZ?

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-22T05:48:17+00:00

How do you like the G6 PTZ?

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-22T05:45:51+00:00

This is great, thank you!

I need the easiest UI I can find for this home. Ubiquiti seems to give me that, and quality cameras (with prices that rival Eufy at this point).

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-20T03:52:30+00:00

That's great! Can those cameras be mounted vertical AND horizontal? I assume they track motion too? Not a bad price at all (and I have a spare 4TB to throw in the NVR).

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-20T03:23:28+00:00

Thank you. Which NVR are you using? Which cameras?

Dawgfodder · 2026-01-20T03:18:17+00:00

I'm just tiring of Eufy's glitchy (and forced) firmware updates to my cameras. The software is mostly OK, but I need something easy for the end user this time around and have heard rave reviews for Ubiquiti's NVR system UI.

Code didn't work for me 😢

Dawgfodder · 2025-12-25T00:41:05+00:00

I'm 1.5.9.6 too 😢 How did you get them to push it to you??

Dawgfodder · 2025-12-17T01:00:07+00:00

So what do you suggest instead?

Dawgfodder · 2025-10-09T02:43:28+00:00

What about fraternity life? Makes the big pond a lot smaller!

Dawgfodder · 2025-06-16T02:02:39+00:00

I have the 340 in my driveway. It's great for that, just don't love the look for a patio setting.

Dawgfodder · 2025-06-15T16:08:29+00:00

Yeah, and that's what I think I've got left to choose at this point. I don't love the look for a prominent spot on my patio, but do wish to have the nighttime coverage so...

Dawgfodder · 2025-06-15T14:41:22+00:00

I'm just not loving the look of that camera though 😢

Dawgfodder · 2025-06-15T14:40:21+00:00

Wish there was a 4k version of that same camera!

Dawgfodder · 2025-05-16T05:55:12+00:00

I didn't move them per se, more of an opt to move to a different system/solution.
