New system recommendation

[camarolt1guy]

Hello, New guy here and im looking to replace the cameras i currently have.
RIght now i have a 16 camera BNC type system but its ran off cat5e wire with baluns so i would like to swap to a POE system. I have a mix of other cameras too like google, nest, wyze and would like to get them all under one app and one system if possible. I would like to use poe doorbells too. so does anyone have a recommendation of what type of system i should be looking for? (links are great too) Ive read to stay away from reolink but Hikvision and Dahau are ok. I dont need anything fancy like ai or facial detection but i do need the cameras to actually see and not ghost leg. NVR just needs to display HDMI out and remote view. thanks for any and all help

Welcome to IPCT!

Your're right to avoid Reolink cams, BUT.... they do have a terrific POE (and a Wi-Fi version) doorbell:

New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

Recently found a few release articles and videos by Reolink on their new POE Doorbell Camera. Per comments by Reolink it's ONVIF and RTSP compliant. Although I've been running a YooSee SD-M5 POE doorbell somewhat successfully for several years now I check back here from time to time to see if...

Several members stream via RTSP or RTMP to Blue Iris VMS on a PC, others have them connected to NVR's. They are also able to obtain ONVIF events from it.

Speaking of Blue Iris, there's hardly a cam or NVR out there that won't stream to Blue Iris.
