chuga Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hi - not sure where to post this so apologies if it needs to be moved. I have started to look into getting a few security cameras outside and would like to be able to use my Unraid server to store the videos versus a paid cloud solution. I am looking for some advice on a few things.. --I have read that there could be issues with security cameras always keeping the dives spinning/writing. I have a spare 120gb ssd- could I just put this in and have the cameras write to it? I do not care much about having the data backed up. --what software systems are recommended ? I have read on others setting up 'blue iris' as a windows VM. Are there other recommendations on the best software solution compatible with Unraid? -and finally- not very unraid specific, but are there security camera recommendations that would be compatible with the unraid hardware solution ? I assume cameras such as Ring have propriety solution and you are stuck with the cloud. thanks! Quote Link to comment
ConnerVT Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm no expert, but I did watch some videos from SpaceinvaderOne that addressed all three of your questions. May be a good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alvt8nkdlqg Quote Link to comment
chuga Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 thanks for the link - it is quite informative. A bit out of date (I see blue Iris is available now via docker). But still helpful- thanks Quote Link to comment
