So I’m running Shinobi on my Proxmox server and I managed to get it setup. However, it’s far from user friendly, it’s splitting the recordings like a removed and it’s slow (4 cores from a 5800H with 2gb ram, only two 4MP cameras). Am I gonna have to buy an NVR or is there another service that works with ONVIF cameras?
Yeah, that’s makes a lot of sense to me. I just want something that works, that will record everything and be quickly accessible. I’m almost buying a Dahua NVR, but I really wish there was a server software that makes it easy to setup and monitor.
The unifi stuff just works, but the included storage with the cloud key (their hardware NVR for small deployments) only comes with a 1tb drive. I have considered upgrading that drive, but for now I only have it set to record when cameras detect motion, and with 6 cameras I’ve yet to come to a point where I wanted to pull a recording from after it’s been purged due to space. But there are times that I wish I had recording always turned on, I just haven’t done that yet.
