Boy do I disagree with you on that, I'm just not ready to spout off about it yet. On just about everything else I'm slowly moving into the "blows it away" camp.
I have admitted in the past that my NVR data point was prior to AI in the cameras, but my experience and that of others here is that the NVRs were just clunky.
In the past two months, I have "rebuilt" my BI setup from scratch when I upgraded to a refurbished 8th gen CPU. So I have recent experience on setting up a BI system from scratch.
I have been helping a member here in DM set up their NVR system and they are totally frustrated with how clunky it is.
My friend took advantage of Andy's sale and bought a boatload of cameras and NVR and I am setting it up because they are computer illiterate.
So now I have first hand experience setting up the most recent AI NVRs with AI cameras and setting up a BI from scratch all within the past two months.
Still not a fan. Still too clunky.
Tried to look at video from last night to see what adjustments needed and this is still the best it comes up to try to find specific alerts?
Definitely one of those YMMV, but I still find BI easier and quicker to setup and operate than an NVR. The spotter cam setup is much easier on the NVR though! But BI offers more customization with regards to spotter cams, so it is a wash LOL.
