This was always an interim until I get a full on POE NVR likely to be a 16CH N46PCK or an N96PBD as either takes 2 hard drives and leave lots of room for expansion.
The Hik and Annke will work together from what I have read. At worst they will work together through the Onvif standard. I'm pretty sure Hik don't run any software lockout against Annke.
In regards to planning your system as I'm guessing you already know but bears saying for others, I would say make sure your NVR is physically secure but also physically reachable. I've found with most NVR's that you can do most things via a browser but initial setup it's just easier to be connected direct to it and there is always one thing you can't do via the browser.
I would also say do your best to keep away from wireless camera's. They seem like a really good idea except most need power running to them, in congested wifi areas you can get reduced visual quality and they are lower visual quality then POE wired of the same price whether that be resolution or frames per second.
Ideally you would run your NVR and router via a UPS. If you have Smartthings or some other smart system, add smart plugs for forced rebooting when away from the house in-case there is a problem.
If you have a hybrid router that takes a sim-card, with a little bit of work you can then be pretty much as secure as any commercial bespoke system. |
Thanks. PoE is definitely the way to go for these things and if I do end up with a couple of PTZ cameras, I have no issue running a few small 12v/24v cables to those locations.
I definitely don't want wireless for this proper system and will be running cat6 all over the house shortly.
I do have an old Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P with a big HDD at the moment, I just haven't plugged it in yet. I am just going to keep my eye out for some second hand Annke or Hikvision cameras now I think. Adds up quickly when you need a few. Once I have at least 1 camera, I will set it up on my desk and play around with it, seeing what I can do for independant secure remote access. |
That NVR will support loads of different brands of cameras plus any that use the ONVIF standard

I use both, each is good and has it's place.
The C800 has a lower resolution, lower frame rate at its higher resolutions and the night vision isn't as good. I have one fitted high on a wall at 90 degrees to my front door facing down which gives a perfect view of what someone does to my front door i.e try the handle, put items in the letterbox etc, this is surprisingly important.
I had a smack head try every front door in my street a few years back. If I had this camera view then I wouldn't have had to turn up in court.
I also fitted cameras for someone years ago without this view just a camera aimed at the door from 3 metres away. This view meant a neighbour couldn't be prosecuted when they tried to break in as all that could be seen was their back.
I also have one inside, aimed at the front door which is a bit odd but someone breaks in they won't be expecting it and as I have movement detectors on all hallway lights I will get a good picture of them.
The C800 uses the standard Annke camera junction box available form Amazon here.
The NC800 is a considerably bigger camera and uses a Hikvison mount available form Amazon here. |
My intention with the C800 is the same as you. Above the front door.
NC800 will cover a larger area. Once tested, I will decide what model I need for other areas.
Thanks for the mounting bracket links. They don't make it super obvious which bracket works with each camera type so it's good to know you have confirmed fitment.
305m of cat6 ordered as well now. |

I can recommend this camera as I needed something with PTZ and able to zoom a fairly decent range (500ft) onto the gates at the end of my property.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088B7Y3Q7/
My office was 10ft to the right of where it would be mounted, I just ran a n ethernet cable out the window and across to it and that did the job nicely.
Two way audio on it too. It did the trick until I had a 5 camera Hikvision 5mp colorvu system installed with a dvr, etc. |

I've been having trouble with my video doorbell missing events. Max sensitivity set but it misses people walking up the path if they're quick. Apparently Ring is just as bad then I thought of this thread 
Fitted this TP-Link / Tapco:

It's meant to be WiFi but given you have to run a power cable anyway I went with some CAT5 for networking instead. In theory it should do better than a doorbell, we shall see

Yeah Im now set up with a blink mini looking out of one window and a blink outdoor outside looking at the garage, both on a sync module with a usb stick.
I do get frustrated at how poor the motion detection can be even at max sensitivity, the max clip length can be annoyingly short also but for £45 its certainly a lot cheaper than a full PoE DVR setup thats constantly recording.

I'm impressed with the quality of not just the camera picture but the Tapo app that controls it. Maybe not as slick as say wot Apple churn out but plenty of settings for me to fiddle with
Anyhoo, off the back of it I'm fitting a Tapo doorbell and my eldest can have our old eufy doorbell. (Her no-name Chinesium video doorbell having recently packed up.)
