I hesitated 24 hours to offer you some suggestions because I use a PC-based NVR (
Blue Iris) and do not have any of the 2 Dahua cams or the NVR I mention here. But based on the previous and overwhelming forum member recommendations I submit this to you. Perhaps other forum members more familiar with these cams and this NVR can comment and also offer some pointers as well. I also don't use either of the Dahua apps for Android, as I use the BI app on an iPhone.
All the following can be had for under $1,000, well within your mentioned budget. Contact Andy of Empire Technology who markets from Aliexpress to purchase. "Andy" is a trusted vendor that comes highly recommended by many forum members here. Below is contact info from his username signature:
