Hi everyone,
About to pull the trigger on my first IP cam and NVR purchase. Going to buy the highly recommended Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z, and then an NVR4104-P to go with it (don't need the 8-channel variant as I'll likely only ever have 2 cams).
Question: Is the 4104 a decent DVR? I'm looking to not spend too much, so I figured it would be a good choice. Any experience with it? Is there a better model in the $135 range?
Also, I noticed on the AliExpress page that the specs say: Hard drive Interface Type:USB, and then it says "Internal HDD: 1 SATA port up to 4TB"
So is it an internal hard drive (if so, a 3.5"?)? or does it need an external USB drive? Or will either work?
Thanks.
