  • Shortly after turning 18 I was offered a commission job selling Kirby vacuum cleaners with a fairly large guaranteed weekly pay. I product was high quality and the people interviewing were calm, well mannered and assured that we would absolutely not be using any pressure tactics for the sales.

    Day 1 we’re taught about how to demo the machine and get to tag along for a couple scheduled sales

    Day 2 we’re taught how to pressure entry into a home for door to door sales demos…

    Day 7-ish a friend of the boss joins the group who is super high pressure and boss gets excited to immediately move that direction

    After 2 weeks it was clear that this was exactly the opposite of what I’d signed up for (including the lack of guaranteed pay) so I left in search of something better.

    Came to recommend Synology; I’ve worked on small systems (4 cameras) and large (30+ cameras). For home use you can probably get away with their smallest NAS which includes free CCTV software (Surveillance Station) which itself includes 2 camera licenses. Adding more cameras beyond those will require a one-time license purchase. While this is not the cheapest route they are easy to setup, manage and use.
