I would like some direction and maybe part recommendations for taking an IP camera and tying it into an anaog input on a dvr.

 

I would like to do so wirelessly... between the two..

 

Any help is greatly appreciated...

 

Thank you...

What is the manufacture of the IP you want to use? I know Axis has a Network Video Decoder but it only works with Axis cameras.

 

If you are doing more then one camera it will more cost defective to replace your DVR with a NVR or a hybrid DVR.

 

For wireless AP check out EnGenius]

Most IP camera companies makes decoders. Once you determine the camera you want to use, check what decoders they offer.

 

Be careful when taking an ip camera feed and decoding it to analog, especially after transmitting over a wireless connection.

 

The video quality could be significantly reduced. I have seen this first hand and it was not pretty.

 

If you have to do this, make sure you are streaming the ip camera feed at 4CIF and have 2 Mb/s of bandwidth available per stream on the wireless link. This will help ensure that the video quality is not significantly damaged.
