i am quoting out a hybrid system with the following parts
3-Analog CCTV cameras
1-ACM3411 Acti 1.3 MP camera
2-AV5100ai Arecont 5mp camera
now i need help with the recorder, i was thinking about using geovision but they dont support arecont's 5mp camera

Try NUUO's NVR, they support!

i tried to get a hold of NUUO to get pricing but it is very difficult considering they work out of taiwan and i am in the USA

you can get NUUO product here

They also have it here.

Milestone software is also an option if you can afford it

I used NUUO back in the day but haven't touched it in a couple years. I have been meaning too though considering all the positive talk about their software.

Are you needing any video analytics such as people counting, or directional based recording? Do you want to recompress the video or leave it as raw data? Just trying to get a feel for what you need the recorder to do.

Avermedia has numerous recorders that can do this if your looking for a windows/linux embedded box.

www.avermedia.com

also try(in no particular order):
www.izontechnologies.com
www.ipvideocorp.com
www.digiop.net - not sure if compatitible with all above. DigiOp also makes smaller recorders as well and because they use dell/hp boxes their warranty also includes onsite service by a technication.
www.toshibasecurity.com - not sure if compatitible with all above, though they do have a pretty good list for a big name like this.

For pure software solutions(in no particular order):
www.verint.com - I believe requires certification
www.aimetis.com
www.milestone.com
www.onssi.com
All have their own advantages. All also offer analytics as options.

For servers for the software solutions:
www.DNFsecurity.com
www.pivot3.com
and Aimetis can source servers as well and preload with their software.

I've used NUUO for hybrid solution and it went pretty well, you may try it

Try Alnet Systems Net PRO4/H4 or NET RT4/H4

i think NUUO may fit for your requirement
