dvrnoobie

I currently have 9 cameras, but I would probably get a 16 camera system because I want to add a couple more. No fixed budget, I guess under $2,500.

Thanks. I am probably going to get a standalone system. I was just hoping for a name brand that someone could recommend as being "top of the line". I seem to read bad things about manufacturers, or I look at their instruction booklet and it looks like it was poorly translated from a different language.

This information seems harder to find that it should be... but what is the best DVR out there? I have an existing system (with regular, non IP cameras) and I want to upgrade my DVR so that I can do the following things: 1) View them through the existing cable system (i.e. it has a regular cable output) 2) View them online (either through the local network, Internet, or both) 3) View them on mobile phones (3G phones that might support that kind of thing) 4) Possibly have a remote control for CCTV viewing (i.e. be able to freeze on a specific camera in the rotation, change views, etc) I'd also like the best possible playback, etc. Thanks for any help.
