Vigi Camera no NVR
Hey all,
I am wondering if it's possible to run Vigi cameras with no Vigi NVR and just run it on a self hosted PC with security manager or something.
The things I want to do is:
Store to a local drive
Check the cameras from the Vigi mobile app
Recvie notificaitons to a phone
Watch playback from a phone
I have a C340 and been playing around but cant seem to get it to do all the above.
Will I need to get a Vigi NVR to enable all this?

You can do that. But a micro-SD card is also required for the camera.

Thanks for the reply.
With the sd card in will it rely on the sd card space for playback remotely via the app or can it read that from the pc storage?

Playback on the app draws the footage from the card.
Separately, you can store it on the PC. See the User Guide of the VSM.

No worries, if i get a tplink NVR will that allow me to playback without an sd card via the app?

Do you have a video run through of the app with an NVR without an SD card?
Just want to confirm you can use the app externally with playback
