Hi All Me again. I think more or less sorted. My AHD cameras (2x) and 700TVL cameras (2x) work well with my ANNKE AHD DVR. Just that AHD cameras are on the first 4 channels (1-4) and the 700TVL cameras on the last 4 channels (5-. So all good now. If I have the budget, might replace 2 of my 700TVL cameras with the AHD version. My only gripe...... I can't do remote viewing via my Mac. ANNKE is only Windows (w Active X), Iphone and Android compatible. ZMODO can go on all.

Hi All Update on my progress. Bought 2 AHD cameras. Unfortunately it does not work with a current DVR which has 700TVL cameras connected. So I purchased a AHD DVR (8 channels) Just swap over the DVR utilising the 700TVL cameras. It worked. The I replace 2 of the 4 700TVL cameras with the AHD cameras. So I have two of each. I was able to set the channel encoding to the type of camera connected - 720P & 960H. All good. After that, I am not sure what I did, apart from swapping the ports. Now all the encoding seems to auto select to 720P. Even selecting 960H, it does not retain the setting. That meant now two of the cameras (700TVL) is not working .... I meant a blank video. Any help? AHD DVR & AHD cameras are ANNKE. 700TVL cameras are ZModo

Thanks all. I do not want to run new cables as they are very expensive for a tradesman to do that (in Australia). On Ebay (link below), this seems to be a 720p system using a coaxial cable (BNC connections). Will the system below gives a better quality camera than my 700TVL cameras (960H). http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ANNKE-8CH-AHD-720P-DVR-Hi3520D-1500TVL-Outdoor-CCTV-Security-Camera-System-1TB-/322033683301?hash=item4afab40b65:g:Cs0AAOSwUuFW1sQh

Hi All I am a newbie here. I had installed a security camera system at home. It came with a 4 x 700TVL cameras and a DVR. (Zmodo brand) Easy to connect, but had to hire an electrician to run the cable through the house and between the double brick wall. (Cables are coaxial (BNC connectors) and power) I want to upgrade to the 720p cameras. Looks so clear from the demo at a shop. How do I upgrade, using the current cables? Do I just change the cameras alone? Do I need to change both cameras and recorder? Thanks in advance
