CT1 0 Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone know the main difference between these units? http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products_category/nvr-100.html I purchased the lorex (hikvision) costco system, and the fan is too loud for me. Looking for an alternative. Will the hikvision 3PM bullets that came with the Lorex system work with either of these Dahua NVRs? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vector18 1 Posted July 5, 2013 For starters, the FPS per channel is less on the 3108 which means less bit rate as well. The 3108 only has 1 sata slot and the 5208 has 2 sata slots. The 5208 can record a 5mp or 3mp camera, the 3108 cannot. And I am sure there are other differences, I'm just too lazy to find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CT1 0 Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks Vector. I guess I'm too lazy to do the direct comparison myself, too. Any thoughts on the hikvision camera compatibility? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leo_cctv 0 Posted July 5, 2013 Hikvison IPC can using onvif protocal to intergrate to Dahua NVR. But anyway, we don't recommend you using different brand in one system if you have choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
