Hi,
I am a new member and in needs of help. I've been reading through the forum about different cameras and nvr setup. However, the more I read, the more I see so many different options and they becoming very confusing..

I am looking for 16 ch setup with at least 8 cameras to expand to 12 or 16 later.
A big plus is to have a system to be able to send a 30 second clips to google cloud or drop box when detected motion while it still records 24/7 to nvr/computer.
My current situation is that I have a main house and a guest house for my in-laws. Currently the guest house shares the same network as the main house via wifi.

Is it possible to do the followings?
- The nvr is at the main house with 8ch poe and connect to internet for remote viewing / etc.
- The guest house would have 4ch poe and go to a network switch to local access point which is then connect back to nvr somehow. This local access point is different from the wireless network.
Please help to suggest if this is possible with 3 systems below or do I need to build a pc/server with Blue Iris (I am afraid this route might be a lot more work to setup).

Any preference to the 3 setup below?

Go with the 4mp qsee/dahua...it was on sale for 1299 a few days ago though...none of these systems can send video direct to the cloud..

If your wireless bridge is fast and reliable, there should be no problems getting cameras to link to the NVR over your wireless bridge.

As fenderman pointed out, NVRs do not typically have the ability to send video directly to the cloud. With Blue Iris, saving clips to the cloud would be easy since you can have BI save clips in a folder monitored by the cloud storage software (e.g. your Dropbox folder).
