I own 5 Hikvision cameras (soon to be expanded), 1 at each different property with different IP addresses and am looking for a way to view and store the data at home miles away. I'm totally new to NVR's and am trying to understand the technology. Could I ask for advise please on -

1 Each of the 5 Hikvision IP cameras I have are 4 MP - will they work with any type of NVR or is there a specific type for IP cameras?

2 I have port forwarded the 5 routers to allow remote viewing and registered with no-ip. Will the NVR allow remote viewing / recording or is it only for local data?

I'd hate to spend hundreds of pounds only to find I can't use it.
