Is the other NVR running Spectrum? That's what the CaaS is running. I'd make sure you use the same OS so the app and experience match what he already has.
If it is Spectrum, I'd recommend a PC running Spectrum for the reasons already pointed out. For most residential installations, a Dell Optiplex with an M.2 SSD OS drive and 1 or 2 large storage drives works great. DO NOT use the DW blackjack servers, way overpriced!
I installed a Spectrum system a few years ago. The software was pretty cool compared to most basic VMS from companies like Hikvision I thought. At the time the apps for mobile devices still sucked though. Do you install much of Spectrum, and, if so, is the mobile app decent these days?
