You can get a POE switch for fairly cheap. Look for an NVR that is ONVIF capable and then add whatever cameras work best for you. Kits are/can be extremely limiting when it comes to adding cameras. I have this NVR with a mix of SV3C and Dericam cameras. I run 4 POE cameras off a POE switch. Once I run some Cat5e to a few more cameras they will all be wired, wireless can be problematic at times.
> You're better bet is to either buy an inexpensive NVR
would a cheap Amcrest nvr like this one work?
I dont really see anything on if hik cameras would work with it
