Which brand of NVR did you eventually choose?
I'm comparing the DS-7608NXI-K1 and Dahau NVR4108HS-EI. Dahua is slightly cheaper yet the specs are a bit higher, such as decoding capability with AI on/off.
For me, a very important factor is the usability of the mobile app, as that's how...
Does that mean the mobile Hik-Connect app does not allow a direct connection to a Hikvsion NVR? (You have to go through their P2P server.)
I'd love to completely isolate the NVR from the Internet,
and still be able to use Hik-Connect over a VPN to interface to the NVR.
Disappointing if...
