The recommendation criteria

How we chose the best PoE systems.

  1. Site sizeMatch the camera count to your entrances, rooms and outdoor zones.
  2. Video detailChoose 4MP for everyday views or 4K for higher-resolution video.
  3. Package priceCompare the same camera count and storage option.

These are three choices from the QuarkView catalog, selected by installation fit and package price. For 9–16 camera positions, explore the 16-channel system plan.

Local recording first

Choosing a PoE system without subscription.

For local recording, choose a compatible NVR and hard drive. Saving footage on that drive does not require cloud storage. Choose online services separately from the recording package.

Separate recording, access and service costs
What you needWhat to include in your plan
Local recording & monitor playbackCompatible cameras, powered connections, NVR and usable HDD. A No HDD package needs a drive before it can save recordings.
Phone or PC viewing at the siteA local network path and a supported client. Specify LAN access and any account or activation requirements.
Away-from-site viewing & online alertsInternet connectivity and the chosen app or service. Check its supported functions, account terms and any recurring fees.
Cloud backup or paid featuresAn optional service with its own storage, retention and pricing terms. Include it only when your project needs it.

No subscription and no internet are separate requirements. For an offline site, specify local recording, playback and export in your installation acceptance checklist.
