[QUOTE="shorai, post: 1123312, member: 24498"] Try to provide a setup that enables you to get real time thumbnails of all, or perhaps a subset of cameras as you open the app/monitor. Having been robbed and beaten up a year ago, we are very cautious and security is 'a big thing'. Any noise, rustle etc can cause panic. Information in the first few seconds is of paramount importance. I don't like the cheap Chinese kit - it only shows 1 camera at a time, requires an (automatic) login and selection of video source. My older system opens up immediately into a 4,9 or 16 thumbnail montage that gives me instant knowledeg of what is going on. You want ot be able , unobtrusively, to open your phone and get an idea of what is happening outside in an instant. Ive also put a very old set of PIRs on a buzzer / siren (switchable). Yes, it false alarms, but we only have it on whne the dog is inside. It has deterred at least two intrusions that I have seen on the camera footage. [/QUOTE]
