Amcrest NVR NV2108-HS for 8CH upto 4K cameras, no POE ports or HDD (supports 6TB) $59.49

Pretty good deal for a barebones NVR that supports up to 6TB HDD.

NV2108-HS
https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-NV...B07KZ782ZF

It only has one network port because it connects to the router, not to any of the cameras. The advantage of something like this is you dont need to wire all your cameras to the NVR directly, which is useful for me because some of my cameras connect to switches on one side of the house and other cameras connect to a switch on the other side and floor of the house. Its also easier to use with things like poe injectors/splitters and to troubleshoot when stuff fails.

Anyways, this is in the realm of and cheaper than getting a rasbery pi + the NVR SW and easier for the average joe.
Good Deal?

Also noticed this in the description: "Backup to External Storage via USB"

That's pretty nice that in case the 6TB isn't sufficient can always get more storage via external HDDs.

i am using the 4108 (now discontinued; was $100+tx) and although it says supports 6 TB HDD, I am using a chucked 14 TB HDD from EasyStore external.

Anyone know if this supports ip cams other than amcrest or dahua? I have some hikvison and other onvif compatible cams that I wouldn't mind hooking in to this if possible. Or even a couple wyze cams with rtsp. Firmware?

Perhaps just for the ability to do 16 channels. However, unless the specs on the 16 channel is incorrect on the website it looks like the recording rate is the same as the 8 channel nvr.

What is the difference between this NV2108-HS and the NV4108-HS model? Seems NV4108-HS has a better process and supports 8MP cameras while the NV2108-HS has a weaker processor? If so, is the extra $30 worth the processing power?

yes, this appears to be the only difference, hence the cheaper price.

How about the nvr software and app for it? Yes it's $60 and barebones but is the software for it worth using and is it updated regularly?

Hi gtshopper

If you want a powerful system which has flexibility, Blue Iris VMS software on a decent used business class PC with a newer i5/i7 cpu has a lot of fans in ipcamtalk.

Like everything, the most affordable products do not have all the features you may want.

BI is too expensive (license, hardware, electrical bill for running i5/i7) and too many useless features many don't need. Add hard drive, connect POE switch and cameras to this NVR and done. You also get mobile app for free.

I've angered the IP Cam Talk crowd, preparing for the ensuing cries and insults.

Hi ThanksDude,

It's ok if you want an NVR imho. Personally I like to see multiple solutions and options available for people, and competition in the market place is good.

I do have issues with fraudulent and deceptive ads / reviews / products / companies. ( thus why I really dislike those "PoE" kits which are really not PoE.. xPoE / sPoe is the label used.. )

The challenge is that most people buying their first kit, "do not know what they don't know" and finding good info is very challenging.

I have tried BI, and its fine for those that need X, Y and Z features. But what I have issues with is that the IP Cam Talk crowd tries to force Bi on to every user regardless of what that user's needs are. It's as if they work on commission selling BI license keys..

So in general, if you are a user looking for basic functionality, don't want to or have the desire to tinker with a complex setup and want a low-cost of ownership that will meet 90% of your needs, get a stand alone NVR. And if you have more than basic needs like utilizing multiple branded cameras, spend more than one day a week working with your setup, don't mind spending more money, have needs to integrate AI for various car or people detection, complex alert zone setups, etc, then yea BI is the way to go..
