Hello,
We are currently using an "Amcrest 5Series 4K NVR 32-Channel NV5232E-16P 32CH" with all "Amcrest IP8M-2496EB 4K" cameras. 26 cameras are being used on the system, and we would like to go up to 32 cameras eventually. Problem is, the current system is unable to keep up with recording all 26 cameras at once, especially not in 4K. We have had to turn them all down to 1080p, 10FPS, and there are frequent crashes with the amcrest surveillance pro app. Tons of lag as well when looking at the live view, the system doesn't seem to have enough bandwidth to do motion recording, and display all those cameras at once. The amcrest system was cheap, and we now understand why, purchased in 2019,… It has worked, but not well and the software is horrible. Just need an upgrade. If multiple people try to log in and view the live cameras at once from the web interface or software, they take forever to load and sometimes don't load at all.
Without price being an issue, is there an NVR that would work with our existing Amcrest cameras and allow for 32 cameras to be motion recorded simultaneously without lag? We don't necessarily need them to record in 4K, although it'd be nice. I'd like to at least reach 2K resolution and multiple live views at once. Dahua, or maybe Hikvision? Would a Blue Iris build be a bad idea for this use case? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
