Hi,
Almost ready to put an order in with Andy, but I wanted to ask some questions here first.
NVR: I'm still trying to decide if should get the NVR5216-4KS2 V2 OR NVR5416-4KS2 V2?
So far I'm leaning towards the 4HDD model as I think I would save the extra money spent on it, when purchasing Hard Drives.
For example, WD Purple 4TB is $189 AUD, WD Purple 6TB is $289 AUD, WD Purple 8TB steps up to $429 and the 10TB is $629. So effectively I could buy 3x 4TB HDD and save $62 on what it would cost to buy 1x 10TB.
But, the question is how do Dahua NVRs handle recording to different HDD as there is no Raid? Do you set cameras to record to a specific HDD?
I believe the 2HDD model has a external power supply which makes it quieter, does anyone know if the 4HDD model is loud? Or runs hotter? Would I need to use a power plug adapter? EU/US to Australian plug? Maybe an advantage for the 4HDD model may be I can you kettle cable to power it?
Are there any other pros or cons of the 4HDD?
IP Cams: I'm going to buy 3 - 5 cams to get started, going to be either the IPC-HDW5231R-Z OR IPC-HDW5231R-ZE to cover door ways. Does anyone have a preference?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
