Reolink?
Possibly. What do we think of Swann systems?
Some second hand TPLink cameras and a second hand NAS ?
does TP link have management software for all their devices in one screen?
I recently bought a QNAP NAS.
Qnap gives you 8 free licenses for surveillance cameras.
I briefly wired it up to 3x TPLink C200 cameras - which are currently baby monitors but will be repurposed when the kids are older.
It does have a "big screen for camera display" as well but I never gave that a go. You can view the big screen via their client app or via HDMI to a monitor.It connects to the TP link cameras via Onvif.

Synology offers something similar, sans HDMI output, but only 2 free licenses.
tapo c200 cameras support Onvif, rtsp, I use an app on a tablet to access them locally.
tplink nativelly have an android app to show multiple cameras- maybe 4.a recent 2 bay qnap nas ~$500-700
+ each camera about $130 (if the C310 - assuming it works with onvif)
+ second hand disks from facebook market place in raid1 maybe.C310 is outdoors ready.
C200 is indoorsif they had solar panels on them, id consider it
The nas is flexible but probably harder to setup than a dedicated system
If i go the nas route instead of pvr\cloud, I'd setup a cluster linux NAS with ups backup.
I have a Reolink set and they're awesome so far. Great quality and decent features in the app.
They are having a sale during Jan for Australia Day.
