NVR or PC Based recorder

[mhz 0]

Hi there,

I am currently setting up a new CCTV system in a new house.

I am purchasing 12 HIK Vision cameras, a mix between the DS-2CD2132F-IS and the DS-2CD2532F-IS.

 

I was originally going to go with a PC based recorder and with either the HIK Software or Milestone.

Now I am wondering if I will need a higher spec'd system to handle HD feeds from 12 cameras and that perhaps I am better off getting one of HIK's NVR's to do the recording for me.

 

I am also wanting to interface with an alarm system and use the indoor cameras as motion sensors to trigger the alarm. Is this possible with an NVR or PC Based system?

What NVR would people recommend?

It is possible with an NVR with alarm inputs/outputs.
