Nothing, Literally nothing is indian made. Any one who told you otherwise is lying or just plain stupid.Looking for Similar Setup. What are the concerns about the hardware / setup being chinese makes ? , I heard CP plus is home grown ,is it any better.
Any Indian make NVR and NVR cameras ?
There are concerns with Chinese made, Even if you assume they aren't intentionally backdoored, They frequently use older vulnerable versions of software. You should never give public internet access to a the NVR and if you need remote access, Do it over a VPN back to your home. (Plain wireguard or tailscale are good options for it.
My NVR is powered over POE. POE switch is powered using a battery and battery is connected to a inverter(to power AC equipment and charge the battery) and also connected to a 2KW of solar panels to handle outages. You can look into doing some thing similar.Anys how do you guys have power backup for entire setup ? is there any AC to DC Battery to entire setup ? , basically dont want UPS or inverter ,it should directly run on battery and battery being charged all the time , is there any setup like this ?
I use a Reolink RLN36 NVR. Their apps are pretty good(on phones/ipad and windows/mac). Phone apps have some limitations but those don't come up often and I can always just use the desktop app when I need it.
The android app and their windows server app are reasonably good, support almost all the features you'll need and fairly reliable. I didn't have too many problems with it.Can you elaborate more? Does it have a good android app? Whats the total cost like?
The downside is cost. You need a yearly subscription or pay a high one time cost for the server app and then you need to buy the mobile apps separately for each google account that needs access to the app. I did that but I have 20+ people who need access to cameras and I wasn't going to spend that much money. So i gave up half way on that project and switched to reolink's own nvr for my reolink cameras.
