Sorry guys, I'm in the wrong place. Good luck.

My words: "Functionally, so far it is pretty much exactly what I wanted." I don't see why everyone is trying to convince me it's better than NVRs. I'm already with you on that. Erm, "thats what you will have to pay if you want it" kind of means it needs to cost that much me... but it could be...

Mr Fenderman, no need to be defensive. I'm just expressing my opinion. I don't see why it needs to cost XXX per camera to look nice. Plenty of advanced, inexpensive software that also has very good UX. I don't expect it to make a difference but I do feel like I can express my opinion that $60...

Well, 7 hours later, I have a win 10 pro installed on the thing, tightvnc server for remote admin and BI with 3 cameras at 1080@20fps@4kbps for now. Initial impressions: Oh My God Is This Thing Ugly! I'm sorry, I just had to say it. The Web UI is even worse. The UI2 interface is just a little...

Alrigh, I got a HP ProDesk SFF 600 G2 with an i5 6500 and 8 gigs of ram off of ebay for 300 bucks. I'll put in a small drive in it and call it a day. I'll report back once I have everything setup to either confirm or not if the recommendation was good :)

Sounds like that will work. BI project this weekend it is. Damn, I posted in the NVR forum, hoping someone will at least entertain the idea of the hardware NVR (so I don't have to deal with windows :) ), but I guess I get what I ask for :)

Awesome, thanks @drunkpenguin. I'm kind of opposite to you on lin vs win (last win I used was XP) but I'm willing to try it, because I have a feeling hardware based NVR will just be more of the same issues. To that, what will be my best bet for live viewing via Blue Iris on Linux, Mac (wife)...

I guess BI it is. I'll give it a try first on a VM with the demo version, just to make sure it functions on a couple of cameras. @looney2ns yeah, when I said 'build' I was referring to the entire process of buying, possibly installing new windows, patching, configuring etc. I will likely get a...

Greetings. First: thank you all for the great info here. TL;DR: I want to have a reliable motion detection and playback of events on about 6 (for now) dahua cameras. Do I setup BI or buy a NVR5216-4KS2? Ideally I want the data stored or at least backed up on my NAS. Long Story: I have a 3x...
