Did you pick a system, yet? You might want to look into Ubiquiti's Unifi Protect system. As far as networking gear goes, they are a somewhat new upstart providing gear that competes with the "big boys" like Cisco, but at a far cheaper price. I've used their video system, but no others so not much comparision, but their system is pretty slick in my opinion. Both the network features and video can be accessed remotely.
Hey no problem. The UniFi environment maybe a bit much to take in since the security camera portion is such a minority of their products. I’d be happy to chat about it if you’d want. Send me a direct message if so.
