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

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.

Then I come to this thread and see the discussions lol.
It seems like this is limited to a brand of cameras you can use with it, f that lol.

In CA PGE is 24c base and 30c , so marginal cost is 30c per KwH.
Power consumption is a BIG consideration.
As noted this is rebranded Dahua.

Does that use h.265?
Edit: yes. And it's available on Home Depot
I have a spare i2500K desktop PC in my house that is sitting idle because it idles at over 50W, where my tiny dualcore 1007u processor with a super small PSU uses only 10-15W at idle. Unfortunately there's a tradeoff with high performance cores vs power consumption, so you're relegated to using weak rasberry pi 4 level CPUs if you want to stay in a low power budget.
There's some NVRs that can support that many cameras but a Rasbery Pi 4 will probably be cheaper and faster.
np, what camera(s) are you planning on getting?

I put the kill-a-watt on the Dahua NVR5232-16P-4KS2E NVR today and it can go over 100 watts with just 3 cameras. Idles at about 40-50 watts. The power difference is negligible. But the noise is not, the Dahua is loud.
BI can also run on a NUC which will get your power right about even with an NVR power and size wise. I have owned several NVRs from Dahua and Hikvision and they all have had ports die. Some NVRs allow you to redirect your channels to other IP addresses, but I don't know if this entry level NVR will let you do that but you have to plan on getting POE injectors or POE switches later. POE switches and injectors allow a lot of flexibility as it's been pointed out that it can be a pain to run all those cables to the same place.
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 think the resource/power issue people are discussing here can be broken down quite simply: NVRs are purpose built and therefore the hardware is likely to match the specified capabilities (number of cameras, resolution, codecs). If you have a BI system you are going to err on the side of caution and end up over spec'ing it, which ends up being inefficient. Someone else posted that they worked around this inefficiency issue by putting it on a VM on a multipurpose machine which makes sense, but that requires that you have other uses for the machine and that you have the technical prowess to set it up and are comfortable with other limitations such as sharing network resources.

Why are you so positive my parents need BI and refuse to concede this system has a lot of value for a good size of end users at a low cost?
It' like telling a Prius owner to buy a Ford Mustang cause it can go faster and has more horse power and "looks" nicer.
If you don't need all the features of BI and can get by with this NVR, then you may have wasted some $$$ on both initial setup and on going power consumption costs.
I'd be concerned if you were coerced by all the BI "advocates" (sales folks) into getting BI.
