The ideal Nakavision home security setup

The ideal home security setup

The following configuration guarantees uninterrupted operation and 100% security for your recordings.

Connection and placement: Wi-Fi or UTP?

Whilst the Nakavision C1 boasts an excellent wireless range, it is well worth taking advantage of the wired option for maximum stability:

Physical UTP cable (Recommended): If a network cable is available at the camera’s location, connect it directly to the router or switch. This eliminates Wi-Fi interference, signal loss from walls, and guarantees continuous, seamless data transmission 24 hours a day.
Wi-Fi connection: Ideal for areas that are difficult to wire. Ensure the camera is placed in a spot with a stable, strong Wi-Fi signal.

Data security without compromise: European servers

Unlike many other manufacturers, Nakavision places particular emphasis on protecting your privacy:

Strictly encrypted European infrastructure: The system uses servers in London or Frankfurt equipped with modern encryption standards.
Security firmware updates: The device regularly receives security patches.

Redundant recording to at least two locations

The biggest mistake is keeping a camera’s recordings solely on the memory card inside the device. If an intruder damages or takes the camera, the evidence is lost as well.

The ideal hybrid setup:

Local backup (MicroSD card in the camera): Provides high-resolution recording, enables instant mobile playback, and continues recording even if the internet connection is temporarily interrupted.
Network copy (Separate recorder on the local network): Continuously back up the camera feed to a physically separate device within your home.

Flexible network recording options

Thanks to Nakavision’s open network standards, you decide where the system saves data across your local network:

Dedicated Nakavision NVR (ONVIF Profile S): The most stable solution. A standalone network video recorder (NVR) that continuously stores the high-resolution video stream (24/7), can be connected to a monitor, and archives footage onto a separate hard drive.
Home NAS (Synology, QNAP, etc.): If you already use home network-attached storage, ONVIF support allows the C1 to record directly alongside your existing backups.
PC or Mac (VMS/ONVIF software): Using management software installed on your computer, you can configure continuous or motion-triggered recording without any additional hardware investment.

For professional-grade home security, connect the Nakavision C1 via a stable UTP cable, insert a reliable MicroSD card for quick playback, and link it across your local network to a Nakavision NVR or NAS. This gives you a closed, dependable system that guarantees round-the-clock surveillance and complete protection for your data.
