Amcrest NV4108E-HS 4K 8CH POE NVR (1080p/3MP/4MP/5MP/6MP/8MP/4K) POE Network Video Recorder (Hard Drive NOT Included) $136
$136.00
Save $20 (Model: NV4108E)
Don't let the boys at IP-Cam-Talk lead you to believe Blue Iris is the only solution you need (as it appears they work for Blue Iris).
Had good luck so far with this NVR using 3rd party cameras.
Note:
1) Hard Drive Not Included
2) If you plan on using non-Amcrest cameras, would recommend getting an external POE switch or injector to configure your 3rd party camera (setting up camera settings/resolution and "10.1.1.x" IP and subnet/etc ) then connect to the Amcrest and manually configure it under "Customirzed" camera.

It's free for up to eight cameras and the more "generic" ONVIF profiles have worked fine for my Dahua cameras. I was even able to get the XProtect software to pay attention to some $20 Wyze Cam 1080p (those little cubes) after flashing the RTSP enabled firmware.
Install was easy, everything worked over POE. UI is your generic chinese DVR UI with some bad translations here and there. Not user friendly at all when trying to save a backup video file. It's some weird format that requires 3rd party application conversion to mpeg.
Hell, I even setup a blue iris PC for my parents who are not computer savvy at all, and they use it to monitor their summer home and their main home. I even get clips emailed to me when my dad sees animals doing funny things.

$ 200 (6+ year old used computer)
$ 100 Windows License if the computer doesn't have it or have old Win 7 on it.
$ 100 8 port POE switch
So $400 to $500 for a Blue Iris system (without cameras) and not to mention you will be burning more electricity because it's a windows computer and include the POE switch as well. These 2 devices combined will draw more power thus produce more heat compared to an all in 1 system.
I used to be BI user and I know old i7 CPUs will max out at 100% with only 10 cameras at 1080p. When CPU usage hits 100% for a month, your electricity bill would have paid for this Amcrest NVR right now.
BI is obsolete and there are better cheaper, more power efficient and user friendly solution out there. This Amcrest is one of them.
It's time to move on.

does anyone know what max. bitrate the cameras can do if i only buy 8, 2k cameras? would that give me higher bitrate per camera?
i was thinking a higher bitrate on 2k cameras will be better for security camera footage/identifying someone
is this going to be a better option than pc/blueiris with a poe switch?
will this allow me to get alerts on mobile with the app and also to play and watch live feed/alerts remotely using mobile app?

TL;DR: Amcrest NVR is a pile of garbage in terms of remote access control, brute force protection measures, cam IP management, and overall interface lag. I've used both this and BlueIris on a really low powered computer, and I would choose BlueIris anyday over this garbage.

I agreed with you. Also don't forget they changed to annual subscription model. Time to dump BI for something cheaper and more efficient.

I have installed Amcrest/Dahua and Hikvison cameras/NVRs. Never have any problem with both.

BI is not obsolete, in fact it's constantly updated. The interface is much better than any NVR. I also have newer Dahua NVR. The interface is cumbersome and to find what I'm looking for it just takes a lot longer to do the same things. It's a nice all in one solution but it has a lot of limitations if you are a power user. But it's good enough for most people. One thing I've had issues with when it comes to NVRs is that the POE ports will also go bad requiring injectors or switches at some point. My 16 channel Dahua NVR also makes a lot more noise than my custom built computer. You can buy a used Dell or HP system for 100-200 that will be quiet and low power consumption.
If you need expansion, speed, being able to use almost any camera, and upgradability then BI is for you. If you only want to run a few cams and don't access the system much, then go with off the shelf NVR. BI has a learning curve, it's most definitely better, but most people don't need it.

Software was buggy, never updated, and support was terrible. Hardware seemed fine, but the app and firmware were unusable. Camera is collecting dust in the closet now.
