I guess the real question is do you feel like the DVR interface you are dealing with now is wonderful and easy to use....for the most part an NVR will be similar...

There is a big debate here on which is better. Personally I found the NVRs to be too clunky and not very user friendly and got to the point that I was reactive instead of proactive. I literally tested BI and knew within a few minutes it was better than any NVR I ever had.

Like literally I would go months on end not even looking at the NVR videos because the interface was too clunky and would take forever to pull up any motion from the night before. And ended up turning off the alerts because there were so many false triggers. I would only look at it if I could tell someone messed with something on my property or a neighbor asked me if my cameras caught anything.

With BI, in addition to being able to configure it such that I get notifications whenever someone gets too close to my house, I can literally in less than 30 seconds every morning do a quick review to see if there was any suspicious activity or people walking down the sidewalk at 2am. I could never do it that fast with an NVR.

Now that’s amazing, hate searching a nvr for moments or motion. I know they have an email option but like you said false alarm alerts would get old.

I guess I better go to my friends and check out his BI software. I’m sure I could do some simple upgrades to current desktop and have it run it. I think he built a whole server haha.
