If this is the wrong forum, please move it.
Thinking about a web-based security system (with cameras) for our cottage. Would prefer one that does not require a monthly subscription. Do such systems exist and what are the bette, more reliable, systems available. Thanks, JDG |

The only subscription you would need is internet service. High speed/broadband preferred. Most security dvrs today are internet enabled. Once installed and configured, you can access your live images from any computer and most smart phones & tablets that have internet access. Mine is a Q-See. Has been reliable for several years now. |

Quoted: Can you limit it to web access within your network? I want it to where I have to vpn in to the network to view the cameras, not broadcast over the net. Edit: If you have one that is setup for Cloud access not so much but for a basic network connected DVR just don't open the viewing ports on your firewall. |
| We just put in a couple of Nest Cams and are pretty pleased with them. It does require a subscription if you want to store video ($10/month for 10 days of storage or $30/month for 30 days) but costs you nothing if you want live streaming. It's nice to not have to worry about storage or software updates. |
