Reolink security system setup plan. Advice or tips appreciated
Hello everyone. Moving into a new home and looking to install security systems. Did some research and reolink seems to have the setup and price point that I would be comfortable at.
Setup: 1x duo 2(front of the house)
1x duo floodlight(backyard)
1x cx410(side of the house to cover driveway which is the full length of house)
1xpoe switch Lots of ethernet cable
From what I have understood, the wiring should go as follows: Router->switch->camera.
If in the future I want to add a nvr, it would be Router->nvr->switch->camera.
Its a 2 storey house and i think this would be best places to install.
These are all my assumptions.
1.Router will be on main floor living room
2.Run ethernet cable up to 2nd floor attic where the switch is hiding
- Have a cable technician/handyman to find a way to run cable to back,front and side of house and make holes using drill to pass the ethernet cable.
4 . Have the tech to install the cameras with the mounts/screws provided.
- Before mounting , setup all cameras so I don't need to borrow a ladder for whatever reason.
Questions
1.Would the switch I linked work for this setup.
2.what nvr would be good. A bit budget conscious as I went overboard with duo duos.
3.what would a technican(not sure rhats the right word) charge for this.
- Am I completely wrong and in over my head.
I got quotes ranging from cad 450 to 1000 just for their services and all my material.
Thank you for reading this . Any help would be appreciated.
