Ok got it, BI is sort of beat the NVR.Big debate and frequently discussed lol.
Here is the search tool of all the NVR versus BI comparisons:
blue iris vs nvr
Then I think that mini computer with connect HDDs isn’t the best idea no?Most will say go with an 8th gen computer.
Most remote desktop into the computer so the computer can be anywhere in your house.

What about the HDD and Space, how much needed?No it is not. It will have problems and many threads here that started out as troubleshooting ends up being because a NUC or mini can't keep up.
An 8th gen SFF isn't much larger than an NVR, but is way more powerful.
Use a Western Digital Purple drive. Get the biggest one you can afford.What about the HDD and Space, how much needed?

I have no experience with Surveillance Station, so not fair for me to pick a side.@wittaj, @looney2ns
What do you say about BlueIris vs Synology Surveillance Station?
I want to also design for me a NAS, and thought maybe "connect" both applications (NAS and camera storage) instead of maintain 2 computers.
I saw their licenses prices, yes, it's quite high, for 8 licenses it's can be $400-$500,If you plan on having very many cams with Synology, take your wallet
Synology NAS comes with two Cam license unless there has been a recent change, then you pay for additional licenses.
I assume it's always prefer to get the latest update software, no?You can get an 8th gen off ebay for $150ish and $70ish for BI.
If you don't want to update BI, you don't need to pay yearly support.
Not for BI, I am not sure about Synology.Are they annual/recurring license fees?
Many run an ssd for the os and blue iris and one wd purple hdd for the video.What about the HDD and Space, how much needed?
