re: General security camera discussion (was "Unifi Protect security cameras")

I've enjoyed my Ubiquiti network setup at home and it allows for the added control and seamless configurations. I was intrigued by their security camera line but was quickly turned off by the price of their cameras. I didn't even look close enough to see the costs or requirements for running cameras so i stayed away. I have a ~5 year old Lorex NVR and cameras and it works fine (24/7 record and no major alerts/triggers is way i roll). I just started playing with one of the Reolink cameras i got in the other day (made post in Tech Board about 2 weeks ago). I'm going to slowly migrate/upgrade to Reolink cameras since they're better priced and have no requirement for standalone NVR. I'm really looking forward to their model soon to be available with 12mp resolution and built-in face/license plate identification.
