Best CCTV Solution


Recommended Posts

I have 6 CCTV cameras which are a mix of Dahua and Hikvision HD cameras, including one Dahua PTZ and one Dahua panoramic camera.  I currently use BlueIris but have realised that the computer it is running on struggles so I either need to upgrade to a more powerful computer or swap BlueIris for a dedicated NVR.  I must admit, I haven't found BlueIris particularly easy to configure correctly.  I am also on Blue Iris 4 so I might need to upgrade to Blue Iris 5 - I was debating starting again with a clean BlueIris 5 installation.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best CCTV solution (with remote access from ios devices like the BlueIris app) which also integrates with Control4 and works with both Dahua and Hikvision cameras?  Would you use a dedicated NVR or BlueIris?  The integration I would like with Control4 is to change the recording profile depending on whether the house alarm is set (or if it is triggered) and to move the PTZ between preset directions/zoom based on Control4 triggers.

Thank you!
