Hi. I only read your first line of your post till I got to the £45 price part What is your budget ?

Hi. Look for a camera that does not need a app . Avermedia cameras just save IP address in browser and straight in .... As quick as visiting a webpage Some apps are quicker that others makers of the camera or recorder produce there own which might be quicker

Hi. Your cameras will not work with either the dahua or bosh as your cameras are TVI format ..... You need a TVI recorder

Well all the above is wrong . What do you recommend for the op to go with HIS ALREADY PURCHASED recorder I am not an English. Are you?. If so, please excuse my English. On 4K Why would more HDD be needed Why would frames be low How can 720 be same as 16mp

One off install you are wasting money ........ Some of your cameras listed are fixed lens But having that tester or a mobile up a ladder is not differance The £500 tester will not give you as much help as a pad or smartphone

Hi you say in your post it's just to help you set camera up at home Why not save yourself the 500 and use your home network and use a tablet or smartphone

Well all the above is wrong . What do you recommend for the op to go with HIS ALREADY PURCHASED recorder

Hi. There is nothing wrong in using cat5 for a PTZ ... Depends on distance if another power cable is needed to be run . As far as missing images while moving your PTZ ... This sounds like you have privacy zones set

Hi. Go with another dahua since you know how to work them Plus you can monitor your parents system with yours if they ever go away and same with your system

Hi. Yes you can set one up you will need a NVR that has built in POE something like a dahua or hikvision system .... Or any system and use a switch The only problem you will have is setting up remote view if you needed that option ..... You will need to do some port forwarding if you don't have a system that can auto do p2p On dahua all is needed is there QR code to set up ... So no need for a PC But you can also do port forwarding using a iPad or tablet or smartphone if you have one

Hi you get a lot of features with the vivotek system

Hi 1 amp is too low

Wow that is 5 hours per camera . Time to get a pro in

Hi . No they will not work with your existing cable ..... Plus you would be on analog with them baluns With a 600ft drive why not use IP cameras ........ If you use daisy chain cameras it will allow you to have a camera at start of drive way and another at the end ..... Or 1 half way . At least you can see who is at your drive entrance and a camera half way to also watch

You talk some bloody rubbish What about 1080p X 16ch or 32ch do these not work anymore ?

Hi. You have made your own post a bit confusing You give all details about the camera and cable type and length And then say no audio at camera ? Do you have a mic (audio) or does your monitor just pick up sound ... While it is connected to your splitter

I don't mean hybrid, all TVI units are back compatible with analog video. Any HDTVI unit will also take old analog cameras, and I am quite sure it is the same with AHD (I have never used AHD). Even hikvision calls it hybrid or tribride. You still have to set each camera channel either TVI or analog

What is the spec of your camera also power spec of wifi bridge

Is that budget with or without camera ?.. You said 24/7 . What about night ? You need to also budget for backup power as in batteries Then you want to run a PTZ and then the wifi . The link you posted is a toy no good for your needs Your $300 budget will be used up just in the battery alone

Hi. What sort of budget do you have

Not really. TVI and AHD are back compatible with analog cameras (PAL/NTSC). All TVI/AHD DVRs can support both TVI/AHD and PAL/NTSC cameras at the same time, so there is no need to replace all the cameras. Some CVI DVRs can support both CVI and PAL/NTSC cameras, bot not all of them. How is TVI back compatible ? do you mean hybrid The op does not have TVI CVI or AHD cameras so none will work for him

Please allow me to explain. The HD-CVI decoder (RX) chip is owned and manufactured by Dahua. The chip may not be able to handle the conventional NTSC/PAL signal, which is output of analog cameras. (That I am not 100% sure of.) So the DVR have to add the NTSC/PAL decoder chip, meaning cost up, or simply not to support the coneventional analog cameras. That's why. You may have to find another DVR model or go for HD-AHD, or HD-TVI. Why has pal / NTSC been brought into this ..... Both CVI AND TVI are a digital output and has no reginal coding Even going AHD OR TVI DVR the op would still have to change his cameras

Hi. There are no good $50 DVRS. What would the differance be lets take the cheap China units 1. No support 2. No updates 3. Very bad if any ... Smart apps 4. No safety certificate for your country .. So never been tested and fire risk. Buying a brand name 1. Full support 2. Full updates 3. Good apps that work and get updated 4. Safety certificate that is real and not just a photo copy But if you wanted to buy something new and you already have 16 cameras then hybrid is your best option . It gives you a system that will last and mix old with new cameras

Without reading how you got to the point of not using an IP camera, my answer is: use an IP camera with PoE. But that's just my opinion. IP cameras are so much more versatile. Budget -- not wanting to use a PC --- option to watch on tv So 2mp tvi is the best option ... Camera and recorder in budget and also cheaper to expand

Hi . It can't be made much easier .... Like I said in another post ... Give them the cable length you need and it turns into plug and play
