IP Cameras, NAS Storage and Push Notifications

    Hi All,

    Over the past while I've been giving some thought to installing up to four IP cameras at my home - two outside and probably two inside.
    Principal reason is to make available recordings if anything untoward should happen while we are away from the house.

    Apart from normal in/out activity there can be some prolonged periods when the house is unoccupied, probably three or four times in a year and frequently up to three or four weeks at a time.

    Because that duration can be so long I am assuming that even a large SDCard would not be sufficient and therefore presumably a NAS Storage device is the next most affordable storage solution.

    Despite what I said regarding the use of SDCard storage I see no reason to record constantly from the cameras. I would however like to have 'Push' notifications sent; both SMS (through a web system) and Email. While out of the country I can not always connect to email and anyway would not normally have data roaming activated. I would also like to have 'live view' available if necessary.

    I do have a PoE router available so that should help somewhat in the installation.

    I know this area is laced with major pitfalls for the uninitiated, so I am hoping to capitalise on some of the experienced brains here.

    Many thanks for any advice or comments on the above received.
