The NVR has no bearing on the image quality, unless you are looking at the matrix view which uses the substream to display the video. In that case you need to increase the cameras substream resolution and bitrate. BI displays the main stream all the time.

Ah crap, I knew this would happen, completely ignore that thread unless you have read it all carefully. It will handle it. 40Mbps is the incoming for E1, your cameras on H264+ with substreams are probably 7Mbps x 4 = 28Mbps. So you can increase maximum if you want to but H264+ doesn't really work like that. Run them on H264 at 9Mbps each and you will just max it out.
You already have the machine so don't worry about it, connect it up and see. If you need help tweaking it then we are here.

did you adjust the substream settings in the cameras?

Is it possible that during installing with the NVR your settings on the cameras changed? Can you post screenshots of graininess and camera settings?

open the camera directly with a browser, change between main steam and sub-stream.. note difference in quality, the lower resolution stream is used for grid displays (more than one 1080p stream is going to be shrunk, it helps with load when you have a bunch of cameras displaying at once) and for mobile/remote clients, you'll never get 4MP cameras streaming over a mobile network, but you can get a low resolution substream to display well if configured correctly..
typically you record the mainstream and view the substream, unless your specifically displaying the main stream at full glory.
they have separate quality settings, the main steam will look great but you can detune the substream so it looks like junk.. so determine which stream your viewing and then make sure your adjusting the settings for that stream or you wont see any changes.

thats environmental, all the IR is causing a hotspot.. its compensating to prevent overexposure and the rest of the image gets grainy.
to me it looks like the FOV needs to be adjusted so that IR hotspot is focused in-between the cars.. as thats where your really going to need it, and the image should adjust better at night.
those plates are not helping anything either, wide angles on driveways suck.. really you have a thin corridor with perfect chance to get a good ID shot at night, yet everyone opts for wide view of mostly hood/windshield/reflectors.. you would be better served with an 8mm i think.

nvr just has to save it, that usually means it missed an iframe.. you could be having a bottleneck, in the nvr, network, or camera..
play with quality settings and see if it gets better worse.

1) It's not the NVR but it doesn't matter how many times people tell you on here you're going to ignore that. As nayr says, the NVR just saves it, doesn't require amazing amounts of processing power and no-one else has this issue.
2) Wrong camera for that location, unless there is a ceiling I would angle it up so you can't see the numberplate
3) If you want tips or help then we need more details (and it helps if you are willing to listen to said advice). Keep saying "I'm unhappy" or "it's blocky" with no details isn't helping you help us fix your issue. Post screenshots of the camera settings! And post Blue Iris comparison.
4) If you're not happy with our advice then send it back and pay for a professional installer to come back with the exact same NVR.
