Unifi Video NVR & Cameras

@RojoLoco You must have Gen 1 cameras. Those are the ones that causes you to not be able to upgrade the NVR to 3.2.0 or above. I have Gen 2 cameras on the latest NVR Software.

I think you are correct. My NVR version is 2.1.3.

Awesome. So this system looks like the real deal then. Very inexpensive, and works. These will be in a dirty, dusty environment. Some outside, some inside. I need IR as well. These look to fit the bill.

@fuznutz04 Oh it works. I have 60 of them deployed at an industrial hog farm. That is not a place you enjoy servicing the equipment.

Looks like if you wanted to, you could even just install the NVR software for free without buying the box, assuming you had some hardware laying around for it. However, for a small shop, I'd rather just get the NVR device.

I've got one of the older wireless UVC micros and I run the software in a VM. Works great.

Good news then. I've been thinking about purchasing one of these for my house. (Just the camera) I'll throw the software on my Lab server in a VM and be done with it.

@fuznutz04 Yes, that is what I do. I don't run their NVR. I would get this server https://www.theserverstore.com/content/supermicro-6016t-ntrf4-server. It hardly taxes the CPU or Memory, as long as you stay with a server distro, I perfer Debian or Ubuntu server. It will tax the hard drives if you start getting a lot of cameras because of IOPS.

@PenguinWrangler Not bad.

Grandstream has an NVR unit as well.
