Need help to connect camera DVR to home network.
Hi all,
I have 4 analog cameras already installed on my house with BNC cable. Those cameras connect to a DVR with built in HDD. Very common setup so far. That DVR has the ability to connect to my network via LAN (CAT) cable for remote app viewing.
Here’s where my problem lies. My home network is on the furthest point possibly away from the location of my camera DVR. The house is not pre-wired for networking so that means I would have to either drag a cable all the way across my house very unsightly, or pay a professional to come route a single LAN cable all through my house inside the walls, also highly unfavorable.
Here is what I’m looking for. Is there an analog BNC camera DVR system (so I don’t have to change my cameras) I can buy that has built in wifi to connect to my wifi network and upload footage? I know that’s not ideal for hacking safety etc, but I REALLLLLLLY don’t want to drag a cable across my house just to view my video footage remotely.
Edit: also should add that the security is not the highest concern hence why I don’t mind wifi setup. The security cameras are more so for an added insurance than an actual security threat protection.
TIA
