I actually looked at all my options again, and believe the best option for me would be an external POE, and this would be connected to a standalone desktop. As for software I spoke to a local guy and he recommends Milestone XProtect. Warranty would be great, but I am open to cheaper options. So I figure I will need 12 indoors domes.

I have heard many good things and some bad about Dahua and Hikvision but I am not sure which system to purchase and I am open to other options as well. I would like to install a 16 channel IP system a indoor motel. This location has two buildings which are connected by a hallway in which all the locations where the cameras need to be installed are prewired with Cat5e. I would like a good system that is reliable and on a max $3,000 or less budget which can monitor all 16 channel with live view on a big 50 inch monitor via HDMI. Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks for a the response, is there a specific model you recommend?
