Is the DS-7608NI-M2/8P a reasonable, current, mid range, 8 camera NVR choice for a home system?
Monitoring only. I don't need face recognition. I do need an input for a driveway crossing sensor that I have.
I've had a Dahua NVR and 6 cameras for years. It finally packed up recently. I never liked it much compared to the Hikvision system I had at my other house. The software is just crap. I took a chance on the second tier Chinese brand after having the Hikvision, which I was happy with. No that it has packed up, I'm ready to go back to Hik. But there are so many models out there, I'm wading through the specs to get something that is current and decent.
I also need suitable Hik cameras to replace my Dahua's, which I have never been able to get to work with the Hik NVR that I tested them with recently, in ONVIF mode. That's another question. Any recommendations for a Hik turret, say 4-8MP, that has decent night performance, I'd be happy to listen to.
