PoE Ports: Built-in PoE ports simplify installation. Plan for one port per camera.
Risoluzione: Make sure the NVR supports your camera resolution (4K-capable).
Compatibility: ONVIF compliance allows using different camera brands.
H.265/H.265+: Saves storage space without quality loss. Reolink's H.265+ saves up to 50% compared to H.265.
