I'm using the Bandwidth Calculator tool to see if a custom made setup would use too much bandwidth.
Does the bandwidth the NVR shows is available the max amount it can take from the cameras at once? I added 2 1080p cameras and the reported bandwidth was over 50 Mbps. Does that mean a NVR like http://www.nellyssecurity.com/recorders/nvrs/8-channel/hikvision-7608ni-se2-8p-8-channel-poe-plug-n-play-hi-def-nvr-recorder.html wouldn't work? This doesn't seem right because some of the complete kits use the same NVR with 8 cameras.
