I’ve currently got 2 solutions in use. (I focused heavily on keeping the price as low as I could for both)
4 wireless cameras on a cheap NVR I got from Amazon. It works but I keep it in it’s own VLAN meaning it doesn’t back up to anything.
2 home built using a RPi 0w, camera, and NAS. The RPIs are running open media vault and use the NAS for storage.
Two notes for this setup, I also have a script scheduled weekly on my PC that deletes any footage more than a month old from the NAS, and I’d recommended against using the local storage on the pi as along with degrading the SD card faster, if the storage fills completely then the camera quietly locks up and stops recording all together.
