I'm not familiar with the two outdoor cameras you posted pictures of. But the reviews of them look pretty good.

I used the 3332 for my outdoor cameras.

ETA: The other advantage of using a Hikvision NVR is that you can administer/configure most of the camera functions from the NVR. I also have the same WD 4TB drive you're looking to buy. There's more than enough space on the drive especially once you set up the motion detection trigger.
I hear nothing but good reviews about that hikvision you use. But I wanted something more compact and less noticeable. Nice catch. I didn't know that the NVR didn't include a PoE switch. What Hikvision NVR do you recommend?
