Deal Details
Amcrest has the popular home security Blue Iris 5 NVR software on sale for $49.49 = $54.99 - 10% [amcrest.com] ($20 off the original $69.99 price if buying direct from BlueIrisSoftware). Digital license delivery.
Use code HOLIDAY10 for the 10% off (thanks mrgino)
If you have a spare PC or will build one, drop Windows onto it, and run this software.
Product information here [blueirissoftware.com], including the direct BI 5 download link (then you apply the license).
Is this for me, you might ask?
This is for DIY folks.
Alternately, you would buy a bundle deal with a specific brand's NVR (recorder) and cameras. But you are locked into that brand's cameras if you upgrade, you're forced into their UI, and you don't get the same feature-rich set that Blue Iris provides for more customizable motion detection and avoiding false alerts.
Last year's sale was cheaper by $5. Inflation.

- It will be compatible with major brands' IP PoE cameras (via ONVIF compatability, which major brands all support, aka Amcrest, Dahua, Hikvision, Axis, Reolink, etc)
- Connect all cameras' Cat5e/6 cables to a PoE Switch, and connect that switch to your local network via one cable.
- And your Blue Iris software detects them on the network.

For actual figures. I just renewed mine for $29.95

But, it is by far the cheapest half decent NVR software you can get.
However,
Have none of you ever heard of Milestone?
Business grade NVR software, with free licensing for up to 8 cams, and it beats BlueIris on performance any day of the week(BI is/was very CPU intensive). Their mobile app is outstanding too.

Milestone Xprotect Essential + camera compatibility page does not list Amcrest or Reolink? https://www.milestonesy
If so, use that.
I have HIKVision cams-work fine (and sorry, but I set this up so long ago that I don't even remember 1/2 the things).

It's very reliability the synology platform.
