Requesting help and advice on selecting the right IP based KVM for my home network.
Post Body

I have 4 PCs upstairs in my office that all serve different functions, and I rarely interact with them physically as I can do most of the things I need to do via RDP or TeamViewer, depending on the situation.

Every now and then something just goes bonkers and something crashes (usually the result of a bad update, or sometimes my main PC hangs up at the bios screen during a reboot (I assume because I have so may external drives connected via USB ( 10 ,16Tb Seagate HDs, contained in 2 external sata to usb 3.1 or 3.2 enclosures). When that happens I have to go to the apac and physically power it off and reboot it. Most of the time rhe 2nd boot goes just fine. It is very erratic and unpredictable as to if or when the hang will occur between BIOS loading and Windoes starting up.

What I am looking for is 4 to 6 or 8 way IP based KVM solution that I can login to when I am out of town to review the status and intervene if there are any issues from the comfort of where ever I am. Preferably i am looking for a device fast would enable access to the BIOS system remotely as well, and one that would connect to the client systems via HDMI and USB for the Keyboad and Mouse (just adding that, i have seen a few ps/2 ones out there.).

I feel like this should be able to be done fairly easy but I can't seem to find a suitable solution. Most of the ones I have found are not IP enabled and are only for local networks you are physically located at.

TLDR; I need a solution I can access over the internet anywhere I am, monitor the status of my PCs, and take control of any PC having a issue a fix it without having to be home. I would also like the ability to do a complete rest of a PC if it is corrupted meaning a fresh new install from an ISO file.

Does anything like this exist and can anyone point me in the right direction? I have been searching on Amazon for a few days now and just can't find what I am looking for.

Any help, recommendations or referrals would b4 extremely gratefully appreciated!

Again I am somewhat new to Reddit so I hope this is the right place to ask, if not my apologies and I would appreciate someone referring me to the correct subreddit!

Thanks!!
