When they try to force 12 on me, I’ll move my cameras to an NVR and switch all my computers over to Linux.

What is an NVR? Something video recorder??

NVR = Network video recorder.

I’m considering going to a stand alone box that will handle all the cameras on my home network. I’m not looking for anything real sophisticated, just something that will trigger and record on basic movement. Most of what I record is wildlife, though I did record someone dumping on the front of the property once.

Blue Iris does that pretty well, but it requires me to keep windows on my PC.

I currently have roughly 25 cameras. Amazon offers some units that will handle my system if I trim it down some. But before I shell out the money for the NVR and a storage drive, I want to be sure that it will do what I want.

Then, windows is history.
