The bullet cameras in this kit should be similar to the recent Q-see and Amcrest "4K"/8MP bullet cameras I posted here on SDs. Which were deals at $150 from Costco and $126 from Amcrest.
I do not know if the cameras have microSD card slots - I believe they may.
NVR - appears to be a Dahua OEM NVR5216-16P-4KS2 or NVR4216-16P-4KS2 ( I previously thought it would hold only one HDD, but closer inspection states (up to 2*8TB) )
The cameras appear to be Dahua OEM IPC-HFW48xx models.
These cameras are better than the similar looking ones in the popular Costco Lorex 4K kit which is currently going for $650 in B&M Costcos.
Pros:
1) Dahua OEM - thus Dahua OEM starlight cameras WILL work with this kit! Add a few and get great low light coverage.
2) 16 port PoE NVR which can hold 2 HDDs
3) Retains advanced IVS features: Tripwire, Intrusion, Object Abandoned/Missing ( they also note "face detection" )
4) Supports H.265 and H.264
5) Cameras have nice solid metal cases.
Cons:
1) Fry's - the store we love to hate and hate to love.... ( I really dislike Fry's sometimes, sold me sooo many crappy products thanks to their buyer getting kickbacks - iirc they charge him for fraud on that )
2) LeChange - what! What is this company??? This is Dahua's new consumer brand here in the USA. They've had it in China iirc since 2014. Documentation on the Fry's site is limited.
3) Not a turret - yeah, turret style would be nicer, but how much more would you be willing to pay? ( $400? .. a 8MP Dahua OEM camera is $150-180 each from China )

Differences:
The Fry's LeChange deal:
NVR does not have a nice front plate.
NVR and Cameras support advanced features IVS
2 more "4K" bullet cameras
"4K" bullet cameras are better models - ONVIF should be supported. These cameras should be similar to the Lorex 8MP nocturnal bullets.
This is the closest Lorex "4K" UHD 8MP camera you want to compare the cameras in the LeChange kit to:
4K Ultra HD Resolution 8MP Outdoor IP Camera, 200ft Night Vision
LNB8921BW NEW PRODUCT
Reg.$379.99
$279.99
https://www.lorextechno
Difference: Lorex branded camera painted black, and no IVS features. Otherwise should basically be the same model. ( yes, with the ability of "color night vision" if you have enough ambient light )
Update:
Estimate costs to buy from Chinese vendor on Ali, Amazon, Ebay,.. note I do not include the cables as I feel they have little value as they are probably CCA cables.
8x $150 per 8MP camera + 1x $350 for NVR + 1x 3TB HDD = $1550 +1x 3TB HDD ( est $90 ) = $1640
I prefer IP PoE kits, so many of the DVR kits I know less about.
This is a good solid kit.
You may have to do some DIY learning, but ipcamtalk's cliff notes will cover you there as well as the Lorex notes I have posted in the wiki here ( see link ).
Seriously, ALL the info you need to get started with this should be covered in the ipcamtalk cliff notes and more info is available on the dahua wiki and youtube videos.
Sam88 did mention it was 25% off previously, currently this kit is close to that. ( 12% + an additional 10% = 22% )
Had I not already had something, knowing what I know now, I would get this kit and add a few Dahua OEM 2MP starlight cameras to it.

LeChange looks to be new to the game here - so maybe we'll see more of their products out.

I'm very tempted none the less. The non PoE DVR from andy is $265. Even taking that price into account, these bullets are sub $100 each. To bad I'm trying to pick up turrets or I'd probably be on this. The price is super tempting though in comparison to the 8MP fixed turrets
I notice the specs say 2.8mm lens with 4.0 optional. So these probably come with 2.8 or we dont have any real idea till someone bites on it?

Ah.. yes.. the 10% is not really 10% .. but .1x ( normal price - first discount ) here... lol, recall why I "love" Frys..
990/1250 = 0.792
So yes about 20% off.
This would have been sooooo great were these turrets....

In your research, have you seen turrets offered in any of these packages, ever?
Just trying to figure out if it's a matter of taking time for product roll out or a conscious decision from the OEMs to only go with bullet cameras for whatever reason (marketing, customer acceptance of bullets being THE security camera etc)

Turret deals are more rare. Even with a turret deal - Typically it maybe a 50/50 mix of turret and bullets. ( Lorex seems to like offering kits like this - and are calling turrets domes! Blah - please keep it straight folks )
Also 16 port NVRs deals are less frequent than 8 port NVRs
I am hoping that kits with turrets will become more popular.
That said, most of the ipcamtalk folks like to talk about spider issues with bullets - that can be solved with external IR illuminators. ( they think the spiders like the visor edge as a good place to attach their web to catch bugs )
These bullets are fairly robust - so they are rather durable and if mounted correctly hard to tweek. ( of course a turret is better on that ).
So, that leaves the WAF / aesthetics issue...
