Will be installing a outside surveillance system sometime within the next year. I think I want an NVR system with 6-8 Dahua cameras. I have bought nothing yet, just been reading up. There is a brand new NVR for sale N52B3P4 16 Channel for $200. I have a few questions. Is this model too old for the cameras being sold today. Do I need to be concerned about the model/firmware of the NVR like the cameras (china, usa, international). This is my first install. Thank in advance for your input.

It will be fine.
I think that’s the US part number for this one, which is what I use.
Read through the specs to be certain but I’m pretty sure.

It’s a workhorse.
The only things you’ll be missing is larger bandwidth available if you were to max it out. And it has limited AI by recorder, but 99.9% of the AI you’ll need is done on the camera anyway.
It is EOL so you know
Step up to newer still in production will be 2X the money
