Getting comfortable
You buy one or more tickets, then sit glued to the computer the day the winners are posted, and end up with either an up day, or a down day. Andy posts the prize list before the lottery, and how many tickets will be issued. You can number crunch your odds of winning and see either how much you'll gain if you win a prize, or lose if you don't. If you win a camera, you got a great deal, with the risk of it being a model that isn't a good fit for you. The winning numbers are random, except with one forum member (you know who you are!) whose numbers are programmed to never win
Yep, I will shortly purchase my tickets to improve the odds of winning for the rest of you
Hey guys

I'm ready to upgrade to a 16-ch NVR.
On the new products list (apart from the number of channels) it's unclear what features are the same, or different, from my Empiretech NVR8CH-8P-2AI
Max. decoding capability: 32 × 1080p@30 fps or 8 × 8MP@30 fps.
Max. 384/384/384 Mbps incoming/recording/outgoing bandwidth
Supports IP cameras with a resolution up to 32 MP
Supports AcuPick with up to 8 channels
Supports N+M cluster, iSCSI
AI by Recorder
AI by Camera
Supports EPTZ, and one-click arming and disarming
Also, am I reading correctly that Dahua/Empiretech has switched from a Linux-based OS to a Microsoft-based OS?
Thanks.

Amazon review for the NVR16CH-16P-2AI "Setup was relatively easy. Prior to getting disks set up the "no disk" beep is annoying but that's a nit pick. Cams got found pretty quick and the local UI is relatively intuitive short of only one USB for the mouse and you have to hunt/click your way through passwords and getting CAPS is...odd.
"The big ding on this system is the fact they include a Web based UI, but it's still using outdated tech (ActiveX) in order to provide the more useful functionality. EG: Want to watch multiple camera playback in sync with each other? Nope, gotta have Internet Explorer with their unsigned plugin to do that. No joke, I found some people that actually run Windows98 in a VM in order to use the WebUI properly.
"Since that's my primary means for viewing (cam termination is in a closet) this goes back.
Incredibly sad; I wanted to like this."

I'm not finding any reviews or other information about the compare NVR7616-16P-2AI.
I'm seeing it here: Search: 40 results found for "nvr"
Is it that new?

It would appear that the NVR7616-16P-2AI is actually a re-badged Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P, not a Dahua.

Yep he said he was going to add Hikvision OEM back to his lineup as many have requested it.
What are the key differences between the Hikvision NVR's and the Dahua, please?
I don't see a reference to "embedded Linux OS" on the Hikvision NVR7616-16P-2AI / DS-7616NI-M2/16P listing.
Phrased another way - what differences am I likely to notice from my NVR8CH-8P-2AI, please?
What else should I know, please? (I'm leveraging my upcoming birthday as the excuse to upgrade.)
NOTE: It appears that the DS-7616NI-M2/16P was first released in late 2023 Hikvision's M-Series Flagship Pro NVRs Elevate Your Video Security
ALSO: It was said, in an amazon.com review, that Hikvision doesn't support products purchased from amazon. Do they support them if purchased via @EMPIRETECANDY or is the support entirely here on the forum?
