Hello and good morning. I recently purchased 6 Reo-link cameras (5 RLC-410 and 1 RLC-411) via Amazon and have them up around my home. While the functionality of the web app and the desktop app are great, I would like to get some sort of NVR/DVR for greater flexibility. Right now, I have all 6 cameras going into an 8-port Network PoE switch (just a switch, not a DVR/NVR). The switch is plugged into my master 24-port Non-PoE Switch. Everything seems to work fine. My question is: What type/kind of NVR/DVR should I get? I noticed that these cameras are all 4 MP cameras so does that mean that I have to get a 4 MP DVR or will something less-resolution work? There are a bunch of options online but figured I would ask you what my options are as I was very impressed with your website. I plan to plug the NVR/DVR straight into my 24-port non-PoE switch. I am assuming that would work? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I am actually leaning towards building my own PC Server and was leaning towards NAS....until I realized that the linux wouldn't run blue iris. I have read a lot about blue iris and it sounds like it's probably what I should go with. My next question, and this may be a little bit out of the thread, but one of the reasons I wanted to go with an NAS was the thought that I could A. Have a place to store all my NVR recordings from cameras (I will only have a total of 7) and B. Have a place to stream all my media to my multiple in-home, hard-wired TVs. Noting that I have cameras that will do up to 4 MP (1080p on the low end), would the following system be able to 'do' everything that I want w/out giving up much on the FPS, etc: Processor: Intel Core i5-4590S 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor MoBo: Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 2 x Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Case: Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case Power Supply: Cooler Master VS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM (64-bit) Could anyone give me some advice on if anything is overkill or can be toned back? Or perhaps something that isn't beefy enough for what I am wanting to do. Thanks again for the input

Any ideas? Would synology work well?
