What IP cameras & NVR do you use?

Hello,

It’s finally Friday! I had a quick question regarding IP cameras and NVRs. I’ve been looking around Amazon and a few surveillance store sites and haven’t been able to find a budget system (under $1000 for 32CH NVR & at least 10 cameras).

Would anyone be able to share what setup/brand of cameras and NVR they use? I’ve looked into Blue Iris and would cost $65 for the full version which supports up to 64 cameras which seems like a good deal. Is this a one-time fee you pay? If anyone has used Blue Iris, does it usually work with most IP cameras?

Most importantly, what brand of IP cameras do you think are the best? I’ve looked into HIKVision and some other cheap Chinese cameras. They all have their flaws.

This will be setup for a medium size church. Room for expansion will be needed.

Thank you.
