We would probably do motion detection-on only. We may only need a couple weeks worth of video, not a whole month. I guess I need to look at compatibility of solid-state drives.
Thanks for the advice guys.  |
PoE=Power over ethernet and is the way to go. Get some RJ45 crimp connectors, CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable and a crimper and build your own cables. Just to be clear the motion detection only is just a setting/feature in the software that can be turned on/off for each camera. SSD's will certainly work, but are not typical for cctv setups. HDD's are normally used and a 2tb on amazon is only $60. 2x2tb hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration for $120 bucks would likely be all that you need for 4 cameras in motion only for 2+weeks of data.
