I wonder if this would be better/easier to setup vs blue iris, i plan on setting a system outside my house with 3-5 cameras with a KONX doorbell

Go with the NVR...that way when you switch to blue Iris you can appreciate it more.

I was of the same mindset, what could go wrong right ? Plenty, along with BI giving you more latitude and dependability it’s a no brainer. Combine that with the untiring resources from members here, choosing NOT to use BI is a mistake I will not make.

Thanks for the input guys, I guess I'll go with blue Iris then. Hope the setup isn't as hard as it seems to be lol

Basic setup like continuous or simple motion is really easy to setup. Just set it up on 1 cam as you like then repeat for the others. What BI does allow you to do is get creative if and when you want, so think of a situation and there should be a way, something that you normally can’t do with an NVR.

I will eventually have replaced all my analogue cameras with IP. Currently running a hybrid Dahua NVR which is working fine if a little flaky on the software front.
Once I'm fully IP setup (19 cameras in total) can anyone recommend a rack mounted solution using Blue Iris? The advantage with the NVR route is easy setup but I realise the limitations so it would be great to see what others have done with hardware and Blue Iris.
