Need suggestion regarding outdoor CCTV camera

Bought this for 3.3k over an year ago and it does the job.
It has 360° coverage and you can set 8 viewpoints to quickly turn it. It detects movements and person well enough. You can add 4-5 members/devices and you can have it notify all these devices for movement detection.

Also works with alexa and google.
Currently on sale 2.7k https://dl.flipkart.com/s/oAaYaDuuuN

How many days of backup you get for 256gb memory
And are you able to view vehicle numbers

@Swaroop M it really depends on the activity in the your area. I only use 64GB card.
- I used to get 40-50 days for 1080p with audio
- Switched to 720p without audio and had almost 90 days data
- Now we have construction going on so it literally records entire day due to high activity and I'm getting 2 weeks on 720p + audio.

Btw I had tested with 720p vs 1080p and there were hardly any difference. It really comes down to how far your pointing the camera to. If it's long distance you need 2k. For few feet like your porch, 720p is plenty.
I checked at a few recordings and bitrate seems to be between 1-1.5MB (720p with audio). So due to 12hour recording a day, it's using 8GB per day, therefore for 2 weeks the card is full.

Hey I was confused among c520ws and c530ws, there's only 500rs diffrence is it worth?
I got this during recent sale for some good price , also the difference as i checked is Video quality and lens . So it depends upon your use case. For me its on the front of the house and covers well all side of the street junction point and captures number plates well. So for home usage seems fine . Also take note of memory unit for recordings too
 
CP Plus onvif cameras are not compatible with TP-link NVR.


They are compatible with windows software like "Camlytics" and may be other NVRs.
