Hi all,

Got a poe Duhua NVR and a standalone machine with Blue Iris and POE switches. If you were going to select one system base, which would you choose? Why?

Comparison NVR System

Is there any reason why I should not be able to resell it, in case I decide for BI in the long run? I realize, I would have to buy a POI injector switch if I replace it.

The spec sheet calls for 10W for the recorder, without camera poe or HDD. I can't beat that with my PC, I won't even get close.
