Axis home setup help
Hi,
I have four axis m3044-v cameras I want to repurpose at my house. I’ll be running the cable, terminating to a patch panel, testing cables, installing cameras. All of this is no issue.
However, the networking portion I’m not as well versed in.
I want to setup a client station for VMS in my garage next to the patch panel (easiest location for me to pull all my cables to).
I currently have a fiber modem in my home office. I’m thinking I can make this work by running a cable from an empty port on my modem to the patch panel, then patch that into a small switch to support the 4 cameras. I’m not sure if I need anything special hardware wise for the axis edge software (sounded like it was just cloud based). Or maybe going with a different NVR/free software that’s compatible.
Does anyone have recommendations on a switch and nvr/vms options? I’d really like to avoid license fees or buying monitoring software.
