As far as cameras go I think I'll lean more towards better night vision but I plan on using the resources on this site to see whats out there. I've seen some recommendations for blue iris and and plan to give it and some others a try. I think cheaper is going to be better as we don't have much of a theft problem. We only have one door and three windows so most of the time the cameras are serving as glorified windows. The whole warehouse is only 5000 square feet and the room with the equipment is in the middle so the cameras won't be terribly spread out. Noise isn't really an issue since we have a shop that's always making noise. As far as a switch goes should I look for a managed or unmanaged switch?

We have decided we want to put in a new camera system at our warehouse and think that a pc build will probably be most effective cost wise and be more upgradable for the future. However, we don't have a lot of experience with ip cameras and nvrs. Our old system was a no name analog system that came with the building. We plan on putting in 16 cameras two of which will be license plate readers and would like some input on if what I've picked out is adequate or overbuilt and if there's anything I might be forgetting that is essential to setting up a new system. 1. First is the pc obviously link to build. link to build- https://pcpartpicker.com/user/elrad59/saved/#view=JN7qqs 2. I'm looking at 14 or 1080p cameras at preferably cheap but decent a night. So far the Dahua IPC-HFW4300S looks good but I'm still looking. 3. I plan to buy a POE switch to power the cameras. 4. I could use some suggestions for software. This is something I'm very unfamiliar with. Lastly, the only internet service in my area is 10 Mbps max which we use for business. Would this be adequate if shared within the business or should we consider getting another 10 Mbps service dedicated to the system for remote viewing? Thanks in advance for any advice given.
