Makes more sense to get a dahua 3208 nvr, you'll avoid a lot of hair tearing further down the line Only downside is that the nvr will record at a max for 2mp.

Just a short clip of one of the 4 Dahua hdb3200 recording to dahua nvr 3204 Quality is even better when viewing the recordings over hdmi through the nvr. 1vSHRFeqrn0

Using a PC for recording CCTV is very unreliable and a terrible setup, all the windows updates, constant re-starts required, viruses, I personally wouldn't risk it. To start you off, You would need a multi-core high speed CPU to record at decent (25) fps and for that you would most likely need a new motherboard. PC HDDs are not made for 24/7 usage. 1 IP CAM @ 1080p @ 25fps puts out roughly 10mb of data a second, x4 cams = 40mb of data to be processed by the cpu and to be written to the hdd, this will soon malfunction your everyday hdd. I recently installed 4x 2mp dahua cameras in my shop and was glad to use a dahua nvr as all the parts are made for 24/7 usage, and it also gives me a peace of mind.

shame we cant get that on the uk website, excellent price

Ok, it´s just that they all have 4 Poe ports (3204/3208/3216) ? Yes all those models have only 4 poe ports, best to buy a PoE switch if you want to run more than 4 ip cams.

I bought my 4 cameras and nvr from this guy: Clicky He ships from italy, so no import taxes or additional vat to pay in the uk, He is also a very helpful guy, sent me the cameras and nvr with the latest firmware

This would be the case for any megapixel recording, a half an hour clip for 1 camera easily mounts to over 1.5gb when recording at 1080p resolution.

I am currently in the process of installing a Dahua NVR 32016 and 4x dahua ipc-hdb3200c cameras at one site. From testing one of the cams, the image quality is superb! The cams came with 3.6mm lens and I would say they cover a very wide area From what i have been told I should be able to download recordings to my home computer using the Dahua PSS software but I haven't tried that yet. Cost of cctv equipment + poe switch + tv + other bits and bobs + cat5e wiring came to just over £1100. Excellent Value for money once I have everything installed.

Bummer. I need 2 tvs for monitring... Best choice: HDMI splitter Thats a nice gizmo, thanks
