You can find camera information on the main page there as well as additional information to install and setup this system.

From that Costco 4k lorex deal wiki:

Goal: To get the best value in a security system which is reliable.
With this system ( Lorex Kit Model number: LNR6826K this is the Costco kit deal ) imho you have a great deal with a good set of hardware and the ability to augment this with 2 additional cameras.
It will require some DIY(*) learning and configuration as do most professional and pro-consumer security products require if you are not hiring professional installers and service.

( * - please see the discussion for numerous reports that Costco services and Lorex appear to be unable to assist in some of the setup questions people have had. We may have to go to various online forums to find answers and solutions. Once installed you should expect excellent reliability. )


Security Camera System Minimal Viable Product requirements:

• 1) It must be Reliable.
• 2) It must be able to capture good enough images to potentially ID suspects.
• 3) It must be useful for evidence. [ thus date and time stamps are critical ]

..

The system listed in this deal also meets all of the minimal viable product requirements, and as it is based on IP standards and not locked into a cloud service offering thus you can augment the setup and use 3rd party software and hardware with it.
The kit listed here is similar to the Costco kit - principle difference is this NVR is larger, has more PoE ports ( 16 vs 8 ), another fan, room for 2 HDDs,.. vs the Costco kit which comes with a great Costco return policy.
There is no vendor lock in.


New to security cameras:

I've shared a lot of what I have learned in the last year in the wikis here:

and

1fps vs 4fps vs 7fps vs 10fps vs 15fps vs 30fps
Most professional security installations run cameras at <=15fps to reduce storage space.
If you need more fps you can augment this kit with additional cameras.

Are you getting a decoding error message when attempting to display multiple 4K streams:

Quote from ShadySkins : Interesting article that explains the error seen by Masterslick. Applies to any system, not just this one. Over Decode Ability Explained for NVRs [cctvcameraworld.com] ..

Thanks ShadySkins!

" .. ( NRVS) are not manufactured with a dedicated graphics card, the processor must handle all computing"

"..the NVR, it first allocates processor time to recording live footage. The rest of the available processor time is used for playback, live view, remote monitoring, and other functions. The recording processor time is reserved, and the NVR displays channels starting at the first selected until the cap is reached. When the cap is reached the NVR will stop displaying video on the remaining channels and display this exception instead."
