A few people looking at the 8 port 6 4K camera Lorex PoE from Costco B&M were looking at a larger installation with more than 8 cameras, and thus we were found this option with is currently a good deal and better priced than purchasing the parts from China. With a great return policy from Costco this with worth checking out if you need more than 6-8 cameras.
Price Comparison - using a similar appearing 4K Dahua OEM camera from China and thus questionable warranty issues.
( Cameras 12x $150+ = $1800+ ) + ( NVR $350+ generic plain front i.e. w/o front face controls / $450+ w/ front face controls ) + ( US sourced WD purple 4TB HDD $120 ) = $2270-2370+
Thus this product is a better value than purchasing the parts from Chinese Sellers.
Compare to: $2,799.98 on Amazon

I'm certain $2K wouldn't be too steep if it was new 2017 Camry.
I think most people would be better off with the 8 port NVR and 6x 4K camera kit at Costco for $800.
When you want to start getting more cameras - beyond 8 - you need a better NVR able to handle more 4K streams - and that adds up a bit more.
Thus a couple of us were discussing NVR options for upto 16 cameras - and the NVR themselves were going for $1000 for a 16 port version when sold alone by Lorex.
Ouch... so when I noticed this alternative at this price point, it was worth posting.
Again, I think the Lorex 4K system with 8 ports should work well for most people - this Qsee system really should be considered only in cases where you really do need more cameras and prefer a US vendor.
[ * updated:
Savings about $300+ compared to OEM versions from China with questionable warranty and generic NVR w/o controls on front
Savings about $800 compared to amazon price from US vendor - normal warranty ]
From the comments in the Lorex 4K kit thread here on SD it seems that you have to return the entire kit to Costco if you want Costco to handle issues.
You should be able to have Lorex / Qsee handle warranty issues for a single camera.
For this sort of product I am expecting more issues will come up during the initial bench testing vs several months out. That is more DOA / failed software flash and other issues should be obviously during the bench test and thus you should have a chance to return the kit early. Once up and operational the system typically works well provided you've properly installed as well as isolated and secured your network. The biggest threat for anything internet connected will be trojans and virii attacks.
Thus after bench testing it you may want to sell the NVR if you plan to use Blue Iris.
Note you can also have a hybrid situation where you have both the NVR and Blue Iris running.

Thanks! Are you saying an unsecured network of the system is at risk for failing earlier, or "just" someone unauthorized accessing the system?
For a hybrid system, do you connect the cameras the the nvr and then the nvr to your network, or vice versa?
Hmm I'll have to look into this! Thanks!

I'm also interested in the hybrid model. How does it work exactly?
So best to read about VPN options instead of port forwarding and setting up firewall rules on your router to restrict access if you must have things besides your PC which gets regular updates connected to the internet.
Hmm I'll have to look into this! Thanks!
I have not used it myself, my understanding is that you allow a Blue Iris PC to collect the video stream from the cameras either directly or via the NVR which can be configured somehow to allow the video streams to be exposed.
I came across the information awhile back.
Recommend trying these search terms: "Blue Iris hybrid nvr"
The NVRs and Blue Iris system have some differences which some like to use one more than the other for particular tasks.
For example some like to use the NVR for live view, and Blue Iris for reviewing historical records as well as setting special detection rules and alerts.
Also if you are worried about thieves stealing the NVR - having a Blue Iris system for redundancy can be useful and not too expensive if you are using a used i5/i7 PC.
Another item is that some NVRs ( like the one in this deal ) include alarm input and outputs - which a normal PC does not have, so you can use the NVR to handle those issues.
I haven't used BI myself, but have heard a lot of people liking it a lot.
