I’ve been researching for weeks but now need to make a decision.

Apartment building in NYC, USA. Currently have a Swann set-up with about 13 cameras. NVR is at the front desk with a monitor and is accessible remotely over the internet.

Need to set up another NVR with cameras at the roof level. Already have power and internet access up there. Deskmen don't need to view these cameras. Just want remote viewing and recording. Super is tech savvy so he can do the wiring and install.

Wants:
  1. Cameras hardwired with POE (no wi-fi);
  2. At least 3 indoor and 1 outdoor camera;
  3. NVR that can be accessed remotely (Win PC and Android) and video that can be downloaded remotely;
  4. Hard drive large enough to keep video for 2-4 weeks;
  5. Less than 4K video;
  6. No audio or ability to turn it off;
  7. No cloud storage; and
  8. No motion detection.

I know Swann is not favored here but I'm strongly leaning towards it because that is what we already have and, although it's not great, we know how to use it and it serves our needs.

Hoping to get this for around $500 not including cost of Ethernet cable.

Any suggestions?
