Outdoor Surveillance Camera System Reolink

What do we need with Reolink if we only have 230V power cable and Wi-Fi for the outdoor cameras?
Cameras with Wi-Fi are clear. We also have 3 access points.
But what kind of hard drive storage?
And do we need any other components?


Thank you very much for your help!

Kind regards

Synology NAS with a hard drive sized for the required storage duration plus a camera license (one-time cost of about 40 Euros) for the third camera. DS124 or 224 models plus one or two WD Red Pro drives in the appropriate size (search for Synology NVR advisor). I don’t know how the rest of the network is set up, but I still want to mention: cameras and NAS should be on the same LAN.

As mentioned in the other thread, before making any further investments, I would first check if your Wi-Fi coverage is sufficient for the cameras. If the access is stable and reliable, then you can focus on recording. With Synology, setting that up takes less than an hour.
