I currently have 7 2332's with no issues. Planning to expand a few more cams, which Hik model would you go with? 2335 or 3345? Both are on ebay under 100 from US locations. Or should I stick with the 2332's ?

2335 and 3345 are Chinese-market cameras. If you're ok with that (e.g. no firmware upgrade and it will be supported by whatever recording method you use), then go ahead.
Otherwise, get an international 2332 or 2342. The 2342 is much easier to find than the 2332 these days, but the 2332 will be cheaper if you find one. The 2342 has slightly better IQ and has proper WDR, which makes for much better outdoor scenes in bright sunny locations (or backlit inddor locations like doors). It also has H.264+ if you care about that.
