I have 4 Foscams (FI9900) , 3 Reolinks (RL-423) and 3 Toshiba (IK-WB82) IP Cameras. Is there an NVR that is compatible to all three brands? Right now I have the cameras split between 2 blue iris servers.
thanks

Because 1 BI Server could not handle all the cameras. Also each server is not a dedicated BI but hosts other applications.
I suspect the cost alone will suggest I continue as I am doing now.

a 150 dollar pc can handle it with ease...you are using old garbage pc's or improperly setting up blue iris...blue iris as with any vms, should be run on a dedicated pc...in the future avoid low end junk like foscam and reolink..what processors do your pc's have...

That's what ONVIF is for. Theoretically. In practice, it can be a crap shoot. If you want a stand-alone solution, IME, Hikvision has much better 3rd party support than Dahua (even though the latter boasts an impressive list of "compatible" vendors).
