Dears,
Let me first thank your cooperation and help in this forum. A surveillance cameras project for home use is to be done. All IP cameras will be linked to a local network through a switch. A group of cameras , 5 to 10 , are mostly ONVIF compliant HIKVision cameras of 5 megapixels. Network is built on a telco modem/router and an 18-Port PoE Gigabit switch. Currently I have a DS920+ and three IronWolf disks of 12 TB each.
Q1. Regarding cameras footage storage, will it be better to use an NVR of the vendor, i.e. HIKVision, or the NAS device will be sufficient ?
Q2. I have read that it is recommended not to mix surveillance recording with another service in same disk (post), does this apply in my use case ? What are the basic storage requirements and considerations for the network to accomodate surveillance use in addition to normal storage and collaboration use ?
Summing up, camera use will be in a home environment.
