Hi @Island Natural

As 2 of your 3 cameras are non-AcuSense, we would recommend using the DS-7616NXI-K2/16P AcuSense NVR as this model can apply the AcuSense features to non-AcuSense cameras.

Thanks Dan.
What would be the disadvantage of using the DS-7616NXI-I2 /16P/S ?

Hi @Island Natural

The spec difference between the K-series AcuSense and I-series AcuSense is actually very small with only some little software feature additions to the I-series NVRs.

The recent big change for the I-series AcuSense NVRs is that the newest generation models now support the new V5.0 GUI for direct monitor and browser access.

Our feeling is that if the majority of your system is going to be older non-AcuSense cameras then the K-series AcuSense NVR is fine, if you plan to gradually replace more and more of the old cameras with AcuSense cameras then you can consider the I-series AcuSense NVR.

Thanks again.
The plan is actually to gradually replace the cameras so i'll go ahead and purchase the I-series.
