I’m looking to get a reasonably priced security camera system, but I’m looking for it to have specific things that it can do. Several of these things may be default for most camera security systems, but I want to be as detailed as I can be. Apologies for the long read, but to get the right system, I have to provide a lot of detail into what I’m looking for. These are not ordered in any particular order.

​

1. Perhaps the most important thing, it needs to record 24/7. Doesn’t matter if there’s motion detected or not
2. 1080p resolution is fine. I don’t need 2k or 4k, unless it’s not much more expensive than 1080p
3. Needs to support multiple cameras (2-4)
4. There can be a “hub” for the cameras, or it can be just the cameras themselves
5. Wired or wireless cameras are fine (both for power and data transfer)
6. Needs to have night vision
7. Needs a mobile app for iPhones where you can view the cameras live, as well as see past recordings of the camera(s)
8. Does not need to be able to save recorded data to the cloud (some camera systems offer a service like that. I don’t need that)
9. Needs to record everything the cameras see. Doesn’t matter where it records it to (a hub, the cameras themselves, or an external device you connect to a hub/camera, like a microSD card). I get that the more cameras you have, the less it will be able to record and save, so as long as it can save data for 1-2 days at least, that’s fine.
10. While not a hard requirement, being able to take recordings and save them onto my computer or phone would be nice (either through the app, or through an external hard drive of some kind)
11. Would be nice if it could record sound, but not a hard requirement
12. Being able to go back into recordings and seeing when certain cameras saw motion would be nice, but it’s not required

Hopefully this isn’t too restrictive to where no one can think of anything, but also hope this is enough information for someone to think of a good system for me. Numbers 1, 6, 7 and 9 are absolute must haves. Thanks in advance for your help.
