I have had this up and running for 6 days. No issue's at all. It is quieter than the two Dahua's I've tested in the past, but still has good air flow. The case is sturdier than the Dahuas, fit and finish is good. The interface is well, an NVR interface, as with any I've seen, it's a tad clunky and not the best laid out. But it does it's job. There is actually a place where POE power consumption is displayed.
If you have the needed additional hardware, this NVR appears to support Point of Sale integration. It also has license plate capture functions, people count, heat map, line crossing, etc. you need a compatible Cam with those same abilities.
The only way I've been able add cameras to this NVR is to plug them directly into the POE network ports on the back of the NVR. It finds other cameras that are on my network, but when you attempt to add them, you get the error message "That's all the IP cams allowed". This occurs with only one cam plugged into the POE port. If I'm missing something regarding how to cure this, I'm all ears!.
Its' remote web interface works well, is snappy and responsive and most importantly WITHOUT any stinking browser plugins required. In Chrome anyway, I didn't test in other browsers.
On to the porn! **Cool sticker not included**
