NVR is better because the cables are simply ethernet cables as opposed to powered BNC cables (1 power adapter per camera with BNC, with NVR only one power adapter through your DVR box).  1 UPS connected to the DVR handles your power outages. I have had an NVR system for two years, only issue is DVR and Software upgrades are a bit of a pain, although the last two can be done over the internet. The cameras on my NVR system all have microphones as well. Totally wireless systems like Arlo are good, however expect to change batteries, also may have subscription services attached to them for full use. I have the option for Internet with my Swann. My experience has been with Swann, Blink, Simply Safe, RemoBell and Defender (a system much like Night Owl.) By the way, I have found all the apps to be wonky, as well as the DVR software. The big dissadvantage with Swann or any NVR system is you may need to reboot your system and cameras frequently (1 X) per day. You can set it to auto reboot.</p></blockquote><p></p>
