I’ve been using a Lorex/Flir NVR (from Costco) since 2016. The usability/app is horrible, and motion detection is unusable (triggers when the wind blows or cloud shadows pass by). On the plus side, I can (almost) always view all the live cameras remotely to see if anything is amiss. However, Lorex cannot be trusted to keep their systems usable over time–they’ll abandon support/bug-fixes quickly for a product.
I’m looking for an upgraded system and am willing to pay around twice as much as a Lorex system. I’d like 4K, a good remote app that allows searching, perhaps “smart” activity detection, so that the alerts are useful. I’ve already wired in a coax/power cable for the cameras, but I could feed POE if that’s going to be the future.
Any suggestions? TIA!
