Review on Amcrest NV4116-HS(16CH 720P/1080P/3MP/4MP/5MP/6MP/8MP/4K) Network Video Recorder - Supports Up To 16 X 8-Megapixel IP Cameras by Alex Solano

Very worthy first NVR or 8 camera upgrade

I bought Amcrest NV2108 HS NVR 1.5 years ago when the price was very low. I have several Amcrest cameras and have used each's built-in email feature to notify me when there was activity. Needless to say, this got out of hand and a better solution was needed. I wasn't expecting much, but I was very surprised by the functionality and reliability of the device. Since then I've upgraded my cameras to higher resolution and also added a few cameras from other manufacturers. The NV-2108 handled the extra workload, but it took some time to resolve live scene situations due to the increased bandwidth and processing. I did some research and chose the NV-4116HS as it met my criteria and used all of the external applications I currently use. use to access cameras. I see it more as a server than a standalone application. Setup was very easy as I transferred the config.back file from the NV-2108 to the new device. The two ONVIF cameras were quickly integrated and my H.265 enabled cameras help utilize the hard drive. The connection of the NVR to external applications also ran smoothly. Now I have nine live cams and there is a chance to increase their number if the opportunity arises.

Pros
