Narrative: Still working on replacement cameras for Nevada. I really like the Amcrest cameras, but I don’t want to by their DVR if I don’t have too. The cameras come with the option of saving the movie clips to a Networked Drive.
The thing I found out this morning with the D-Link DNS-321 is that they have an underscore in the file path which is not allowed in the camera. Boo!
I dug up an old DVR that I bought waay back in 2018, i didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it. It’s home is in China and updates/cloud/Active X plug-in’s are all from China too. I took the HD out of the unit and disposed of it. There was hardly anything in it, just a box with a HD.
I found a solution after 5 hours playing with these cameras. SD Card will reduce the bandwidth on the network AND I don’t have to buy a NVR! I have two 128GB cards, I’ve ordered 6 more of them.
