seams that I have sparked some debate could some advise me on How do I compare what the NVR is capable of recording 3M = 12Mbps X16 cameras 192Mbps should I look for record rate of 200 Mbps and inbound bandwidth of 200Mbps like the DH-NVR4216-8p?? what really matters in getting the best recorded video, Thanks

I was leaning towards the Hikvision DS-7616 but I see the DH-NVR4216 $300 Record Rate 256Mbps Bit Rate 1~ 20Mbps Max 256Mbps incoming bandwidth http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/nvr420842164232-8p-4k-815.html how do I compare apples to apples with these NVR's?

How do I compare what the Nvr is capable of recording like now I have 16 cameras 540 tlv 15 fps 4 cif I would like to be capable of 16 cams @ 15Fps and Fully utilizing the 2 or 3mp camera Would I compare the incoming bandwith? on the NVR?? Thanks

I'm looking to upgrade my lorex junk with a IP system. I will install it myself, I would like to have a 16ch "NVR" I think, starting with 8 outside cameras with the best night clarity possible that fits in the budget. I will add more in the future. I'm an open slate I have not purchased anything yet. What suggestion do you guys have Thanks
