The best network video recorders (NVR) for CCTV home surveillance cameras including 4K, ONVIF, POE

Kodak Cherish 685 PTZ Indoor home security camera review

I reviewed the outdoor Kodak PTZ network camera back in July last year, it was a good camera, but it was let down somewhat with the poorly designed software compared to many popular brands such as  Nest, Ring and Arlo.
