I'm partial to the Hikvision 4MP IP cameras and Blue Iris dvr software. What is great about Blue Iris is you can mix and match IP camera from different OEMs and it doesn't require any plug-ins to view live streams or recorded footage from any web browser. The only issue I've been running into is having too many 2k res cameras at 20+ FPS eats up a lot of CPU on DVR PC. Don't know if the Unifi DVR software is better optimized or if it only works with Unifi gear.
