    This is my layout, now what should I choose

    Thanks for the pointers When you speak of analog camera dvr, how would you differentiate between digital and analog? I have found a better DVR, Q-See QT5680-1, and I'm trying to understand if it is digital or analog? The dvr mentioned above has a "D1" recording resolution...and HDMI compared to others that offer VGA ports. Analog will use coax wires and have a resolution of maybe 700tv lines whereas digital (ip) will use Ethernet cables and have resolutions starting at 1.3mp and go up from there. D1 resolution is somewhere about 720x480. HD resolution starts at 1080x720. Don't quote me on the resolutions. It's a general idea. Hdmi and VGA ports are a matter of how you want to hook up the output from the DVR. Hdmi will not make a lower resolution appear better.

    I would check out some video samples of those cameras and compare them to some IP camera 1.3 mp or 2mp video clips to see the difference. You may be surprised at the difference in image quality. Also, if you want some higher megapixel cameras for outside at a later point, they won't be compatible with the analog camera dvr. You might as well future proof your system now. Good luck.

    NVR Causing Home Network Issues

    Make sure the dns server is set up properly on the nvr. The instructions should be in your manual. I had the exact same problem and was able to cure it by changing the dns server settings on the nvr.
  4. My 320gb Seagate SV worked for 4 years in my old Lorex dvr before the main board shorted out and wouldn't power up the drive. I put the drive in my pc as a backup and bought a 1tb Seagate sv35 for my new system.
