The modern household is a tech-heavy environment. Firewall rules using Unifi gear is the solution here.
Only your home automation PC/device needs to have Internet access for notifications etc. This is where a NAS NVR really shines – they tick all the boxes for a household that has multiple camera brands and need everything to just work seamlessly: Some companies such as Amcrest, Annke, Hikvision support 3rd party cameras but often this is very limited and won’t support AI person or vehicle detection features of the camera.
Most NVRs are designed to support only their own brand cameras, such as Lorex or Reolink. If you have IP cameras from different brands in your home and they all support industry standards/protocols such as ONVIF or RTSP, finding an NVR to record all these cameras is a pain. Why use a NAS NVR instead of a regular NVR? (* = affiliate link / image source: Amazon Associates Program)
