Can you use a NVR over a WAN for storage

Post by chrispward »

We have 3 sites with only a couple of cameras at each site.

We'd like to store more days of video so were thinking of purchasing an NVR.

Can we just purchase 1 nvr, give it a 4-6tb HDD and have all sites post to it?

The upload speed at each sight it around 10mbs.

(is there a way the cameras can 'archive' files every night).

Would a NAS be a better option?

(we're quite happy with using the amcrest surveillance pro software so we don't technically need the DVR, we just need more storage).

Since Surveillance Pro with WAN cameras works well for you, you could try Surveillance Pro PC-NVR. You could test it easily by setting up PC-NVR and allocating some test disk space. Your PC does need to be on when recording.

I"m not sure if you can add WAN cameras to a NVR, but here's the manual.
