Viewing NVR Direct or over network - Difference?

Snaffs

Having bought a new Reolink NVR and 4K Camera's, but not installed it yet. I have a question.

On the back of the NVR unit, there are Monitor and Mouse connections, so you can directly operate your system from the NVR itself, using the User Interface built into the NVR Unit.

Is this better, doing it this way (better user interface?) or some other advantage.
Than logging into your NVR via a computers web browser on your home network instead?

Is the User Interface different?
Any benefits or drawbacks?

Hello, They are almost indistinguishable between monitor and computer. It depends on the user’s personal needs and preferences. They have different user interface but has the same functions.
