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.

Yep when I first started getting into cameras (just adding one here and there and using only the cameras applications) I then wanted to move to NVR and was sure the PC route was it, then the more I looked into it the better a stand alone unit looked. Ended up with the 16 channel non poe version of this ( NV4116-HS )and it had been great, using 4 different brand cameras.
Got it on sale last year for $120 but current price of $150 is still good in my opinion.
Any one in that model range should be good but I can not speak of the POE versions.
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.
Sounds like mostly user/installer error? 🤔

How much power does the Non-POE version NVR consume, typically? I can hopefully stick it anywhere I have an ethernet cable and be done with it.
Also, this is now at $120 . Is this the one?

$ 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BI is obsolete and there are better cheaper, more power efficient and user friendly solution out there.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.
I have literally zero idea what you are talking about with an i7 maxing at 100% with 10 cameras. I have a feeling you had no idea how to setup blue iris to begin with if that was your issue.
I have a PC that is on 24/7, its my home office computer. It controls my whole house plex media server, all of my led lighting on the entire property, my weather station which uploads real time data to NOAA, and Blue Iris.
You can see in the atached screenshots, with my i7, Blue Iris is taking 4% CPU while writing 26-28MB a second to a western digital purple hard drive. Blue Iris is recording 8 4k cameras 24/7 and also using motion sensing to make an alerts folder to flag motion It is mostly dark right now, so the write rate is extremely low, but even during the day, the CPU never goes beyond 6% from Blue Iris.
Plus, it's 2021, who wants a big clunky NVR box that you have to run cat 5 cables to? Nobody does that anymore. On my main property, I have 12 google mesh pucks scattered around, and different cameras are ran off different pucks with inline PoE injectors. The trenching / installation of cat 5 cables to make a NVR system work at my house would be in the tens of thousands of dollars. I know my situation would be extreme, but most people would end up paying hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) for cat 5's to all be ran from a single location on a property, unless you live in some little shack and don't care about exposed wires ran outside. Also, the last concern on my mind is the extra $30 a year my almost idle blue iris PC is adding to my electricity cost.
It's time to move on from large, primitive NVR systems and move into wireless file transfer, such as Blue Iris.
As noted this is rebranded Dahua.

This is pretty good option too, especially if you plan on using 3rd party cameras and don't mind using a separate POE switch. Considering this myself. Thanks.

But we have not heard the last of the BI fan-base, they are strongly bias as if they have a stake in the sales of the BI software... hummmm.....
I had 6 cameras attached to it and I could never get it to output more than 4 cameras on a TV screen. Reached out to support and the response they gave was weak at best.
For an NVR that advertises 8 channel support, it's embarrassing. My 6 cameras were 2MP. Even switching to substream and 4fps did not resolve the issue.
So it you're looking to just use it for recording and no live view, should not be an issue. But if looking to output for constant live view, this is not the NVR you're looking for.

One of my big constraints is internet connectivity. The location is remote and has an internet connection but the uplink is REALLY slow.
Would something like this fit my needs (this NVR + HDD + cameras)? Or alternate suggestions welcome.
