    Thanks for the in-depth guide to the VIGI ecosystem. You've answered all questions I've had about it.
    I will be buying VIGI cameras first and eventually add a NVR if and when I need it.
    Could you also review ReoLink and compare it to VIGI?

      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes, we have a video coming out over the next couple of months on what do I need to run Reolink. We are also hoping to work on some camera comparisons as well.

    How does TP-Link VIGI compare to Hikvision (at similar price point) for functionality and quality?
    Thanks.

    How well does it work with a HIK DVR compared to a HIK camera? I already have a four camera HIK system in my building.

      Great question. I am afraid I don't have any real experience of HIK so can't offer a comparison, sorry.

    Hi are you able to use third party cameras i.e. not TP link brand with the TP link NVR?

    • @The_Tech_Geeks
      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 3 měsíci

      The NVR supports the ONVIF which is the open standard, so yes you can use non TP-Link cameras with the NVR if they also support the open standard.

    hi, I didn't understand one thing.
    if i buy 3 vigi cameras, 1 in poe and 2 in wifi. does it make sense to buy the 4 channel nvr? i mean the vigi camera in wifi how will it connect with the nvr without lan?
    thanks if you can clarify this for me

    • @The_Tech_Geeks
      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Good question. The NVR is not about the number of physical cables that will be connected it is about the amount of Ram and CPU it has to support a specific number of cameras. The more cameras the greater the amount of data to receive and process. Vigi wireless cameras will connect to your wireless network which will in turn be connect to your LAN which will be connected to your NVR, so if you have 3 cameras, whether wireless or wired and want to store the data you will need at least a 4 channel NVR. I hope this helps

    Hello my dear friend
    Can you guide me, I need only one tp link c540v pan/tilt in the front side of my small row house. I will not be putting more cameras.
    So can I use it to monitor the camera with my android phone and my laptop the c540v camera?
    And is it possible to download the footage on my mobile or laptop without removing the sd card, or I have to install a poe splitter, nvr, as I have a wifi router.
    And if I need a nvr for just one camera then, what model I have to choose and do I need a poe splitter.
    Please guide me what is required for the model c540v camera which you showed in this video.
    Hope you understood my requirement.
    Thank you for all your guidance.
    Greetings from Maharashtra, India.

      If you just want one camera, then all you need is that one camera and an SD card installed in to it. You don't need an NVR and as long as it has internet access you can connect to the device and look at the storage footage as needed. If you purchase the wireless version then all you need to do is plug it in to the mains power to power it and no PoE is needed. I hope this helps

    does the TPlnk vigi nvr will record sound from a camera with audio?

    • @The_Tech_Geeks
      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes. As long as the VIGI camera supports audio the NVR will record the Audio as well as the images.

    Can I connect this camera to other brand's NVR or it will work with only TP-Link NVR?

    • @The_Tech_Geeks
      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 3 měsíci

      TP-LINK Cameras support the ONVIF standard, so as long as your NVR supports that they should work with it. Do bear in mind that this means you will be able to get the footage stored to your NVR, but you may not be able to manage some of the advanced features of the camera.

      Thanks for your comments. It is still vary new and I think it is just taking a little while for people to choose to use TP-Link for CCTV.

    Use Poe switch and not Poe on nvr

    • @The_Tech_Geeks
      @The_Tech_Geeks  Před 3 měsíci

      Certainly an option. Probably if you only have a few cameras, PoE on the NVR will be enough, but it will come down to personal preference.
