I am looking for the best monitor option for my company setup.

Current setup:
(2) Dahua NVR608-64-4KS2 NVRs
(72) Dahua Cams

The (72) cams are split between interior and exterior locations as are the NVRs.

Interior NVR is using (44) channels
Exterior NVR is using (28) channels

These NVRs have (2) HDMI outs to allow for (2) monitors to be attached. If I want to check all (44) channels on the Interior NVR, I have two options:
1. Toggle between (2) screens which will allow me to see (36) channels on the first and (8) on the second.......but I can't see them at the same time obviously. This option is not optimal.
2. Utilize both HDMI outs with two monitors to see all (44) channels at the same time.

The exterior NVR is only using (28) channels so I can view all at the same time on one monitor. So basically, if I had (3) monitors I could view all (72) channels at once. I am trying to decide if I should go with a multi-client monitor that will allow for multiple inputs to be viewed on one screen or get (3) separate monitors? Multi-client monitors are cleaner looking than (3) separate monitors but I do not know how well the multi-client monitors fare with this type of setup.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can you MOVE 8 cams from the Interior to the Exterior NVR?
that way you have 36 cams on each and only need TWO monitors.
(at least until you add that 73rd cam... :)

Suggest a couple (or 3) 4k TVs to use as monitors (vs 'computer' displays).
A lot cheaper for the real-estate, and you could go BIG...

I guess technically I could.....but I would rather leave them separated, Interior/Exterior. Probably right about the TV's vs Monitors though. I will probably just pick up (3) 40" 4k TVs.

Thanks for the feedback!

Have you considered using a custom split on your NVR so you can view the interior 44 on one screen?
