Qvis is largest in Europe and are makers there is no problem buying and are the only company to sell cvi tvi IP analog all on one unit hmm i looked on different places, amazon, etc, but i never found it... i did find this one, looks like it might work.... pretty cheap so i might buy it jst for an experiment. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KKMOON-16Ch-960H-D1-CCTV-Network-Standalone-H-264-HDMI-Security-System-N93R/311511789115?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D39035%26meid%3Dcf892930d0d545a29b60e6bba3044942%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D291557456084

so no qvis dvr... any other ideas, apparently you can't buy qvis dvr anymore at least on my google searching.

i have 3 ip cameras also and the blue iris app on the iphone and on the pc is so much better than mypss and local login, also I have a homeseer home automation and blue iris has a plugin for that. overall just a really good application. but i have to also keep the dvr to output coax because i have that connected in my house to 8 tv's as well.

I have a 5 years old 16 channel dvr that seems to be done for, it just keeps rebooting over and over, and since I no longer store any video on it anymore, and simply use it to stream over to my blue iris pc. I'm planning on upgrade my 16 analog cameras to ip so I don't really want to spend a bunch... currently i have a qvis which is guess is a dahua clone, it works fine, so something like that would be good, but i don't really need much else. any suggestions?

some cameras will write a network share, others will just write to their own sd card, you can just login and view you buy the software to make it easier, you will have hours and hours and hours of files and the software is designed to separate the wheat from the chaff, it's a good investment.. i have 2 copies of blue iris. and running about 22 cameras now.. plus i use the iphone app and it works great.

ahh i see the thread, pretty much on point. interesting discussion re paying more for support.

has anyone used the 5mp cameras on aliexpress, they are all pretty cheap, and I'd take a gamble on them, but I wonder if they are any good, i use blue iris, so i really don't care about their interface, because i'll just put the stream into blue iris and go from there. any ideas? thoughts? 100 bucks for a 5mp camera seems pretty good to me.

i never came up with a solution

wow cheapest i found was 900, i guess for that i can just get a hdmi matrix.. that may be the way to go i guess.

would the dedicated dvr forum be a better place for this question? of note I already have a blue iris system at my office and it works great, but I can only distribute the video to my iphone/ipad, not to different tv's. of course I don't have tv's all around my office like I do at home.

I currently have an analog system throughout my house with 16 cameras. They are old 600tvl cameras and at the time seemed like a good idea, but I have put a few 3mp cameras at the office and the difference is night and day, so I want to switch. My spouse enjoys the heck out of the cameras and so I used the rg6 video out from the dvr and split the video 6 ways with good results and now I can watch the cameras in any of those locations throughout the house. Typically my wife will leave the security cameras on in the kitchen tv. or in the kids rooms if she is in there, now my house was wired for satellite tv so there was already rg6 run everywhere through the house, but the question is if I switch to all ip cameras and run some sort of blue iris system how can I get the video out of the computer and then distribute it to all of the tv's in the house. I do have ethernet run to almost every tv, but runing a hdbaseT balun to 6 tv's will get mighty expensive.

i got one, 16 channel professional d1 30fps x 16 i think, and it's great, and the app that you spend a couple bucks for is better than the free one, but both work. it's a dahua as well.

thank you. Would also the Shinybow SB3702-BNC work if I wanted to split it 8 times? or Should I not expect to be able to split the signal that much. http://www.amazon.com/1x9-Composite-Distribution-Amplifier-Splitter/dp/B0028RA46I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379799440&sr=8-3&keywords=shinybow+composite++video+distribution+amplifier+splitter well i will be able to tell you guys in 4 days if it works, because it's being shipped today!
