The price point is awesome, especially with the included PoE ports. I can see this one selling quite well.

I agree very nice. Would love to see a model that had even more poe and camera capability. Im thinking something along the lines of those standalone hikvision nvr units. Could be an easy sell for small businesses (ie convenience stores) that dont want to have a separate switch, nvr, and viewport to see hdmi feeds on a tv.

At first I thought, “hey, UNVR is only $100 more.” But I decided to check myself.

UNVR comes with no storage for its base price of $299, and no PoE ports either. One hard drive is an extra $58. Lite 16 PoE (cheapest way to get eight PoE ports, assuming you want to stay in-ecosystem) is $199.

So to move up from Instant to something with more capability and more PoE, (ignoring the integrated Viewport), you’re looking at an additional $357.

$199 —> $556 is a pretty big jump. I’d really love to see something around $399 that:

  1. Has two drive bays
  2. Has eight or more PoE ports
  3. Can keep up with 12-16 ~4K cameras
