I'm not sure, as I'm new to NVR and POE setup just like you.
Someone here should be able to chime in.

I looked into the 5MP system earlier what throws me off was the old BNC/Coax wiring instead of PoE Camera.
My exact thoughts as well. I really wish there was a few video examples of these cameras (sd deal).
I wonder if they show anywhere close to this example with an amcrest hd 2.1mp ip camera used in this video around the 2:35 mark?

FYI - Porksoda posted this on SD:
Looking at what appears to be part 1, and the cameras look like the older models included in the kit. Thus I would hope to see better IR performance with the newer camera models.porksoda said:

Was the kit posted this week on Newegg the newer camera models or the older ones?
Another quick question, should I go for the 1tb wd purple or the 2tb hgst refrub below:
Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA III 6.0Gb/s (Heavy Duty, 24/7) 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive (For PC, Mac, CCTV DVR, RAID, NAS) (Certified Refurbished) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTJTVF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ExB9AbBQZX297

Stick with a WD purple, get the 2tb, it's only $16.00 more than a 1tb.

Stay away from Arlo or anything that is wireless/wifi, or cloud based.
Thanks for the hd advice. I mean in the video, there's a amcrest Poe camera example around the 2:35 mark. Was wondering if that's the quality I could expect with the 2.1 laview cameras I ordered?

I also have Ring Spotlight Cam Wired on the way will be installed at my entrance door.
-I have a router less than 7' away so, this shouldn't much of an issue with wifi connection.
Along with this setup will be pair with my 3TB WD Red spare HDD I have for my NAS.
I also wonder if I could still hook up my old Foscam 720p non-PoE to this DVR.

The kit should be arrive this week. I found someone who said they'll put it up for $200, wondering if I should get them or is it simple to diy?
Here's a idea of where I'm thinking to install them. In the pics above (I circled where the camera would go), they would probably settle under a Eve (approx. 8ft in height). And be positioned like in a triangle where the first camera would be point in the direction of the far right and vice Versa.
Any thoughts ideas or suggestions.

Hi Gary,
If you are tight on money you should be able to DIY without too much difficulty if you have access to the attic. Just have a friend help you when you do the cabling pulls.

Hi Gary,
Looks like a good spot to test and see how well they work for you. Remember we never really know how good a proposed placement is until we test the camera during both the day and night and with a subject wearing a baseball cap and hoodie.
Sometimes moving a camera just a couple of feet makes a significant difference.
Sure! I think it's @looney2ns that likes here to suggest a 5 gal. bucket, stick a length of 2x4 in it, hold the pipe plumb, fill it with gravel or rocks, screw or wire-tie the cam to it, use a l-o-n-g Ethernet cable and move it around to find a sweet spot.
When you're happy with cam #1, take a photo, make some notes and move on to cam #2, and so on.
FYI, cam height should not be over 8 ft. high.
