Hey guys,
putting together a new system, and leaning towards going the PC / blue iris route from all the recommendations on the forum.
What are the main benefits over a current generation dahua NVR? I will only have 4 video feeds so dont know if ill need the extra processing power of a PC. also the NVR option is much cheaper as it already has the POE to power the cameras.
blue iris pc $275
poe switch $125
blue iris software $50
total $450 vs $145 for the NVR
is the extra cost worth it? especially for someone who isn't a power user, but just wants reliable motion/trip wire.
TIA for any input.
