It's rly good. Low bitrate for a FullHD camera, good low light performance.

I'm using ExacqVision START installed on old HP desktop PC (core 2 Duo), 8 cams, no problem

If you go with a NVR (Network Video Recorder) to view and record your IP cameras, a VGA port and or HDMI port is usually provided for your display device.

 

So your TV/monitor must also have VGA or HDMI input as well.

 

If you need to hook up multiple TV/monitors, use a VGA splitter or HDMI splitter.

 

They come in 2port, 3port, 4port, etc. depending on your needs.

 

Also, check the specs for maximum cabling distance per port...

why would you recommend going with the nvr over the dvr?

 

i thought the dvr was easier to work with and better to use over the nvr...also isnt the main reason for going with the nvr is to view the cameras off site and to have it hooked up via the internet? i thought that was the main difference

DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is a analog based recording/viewing box.

For analog cameras.

-some dvr's have a internet connection.

 

NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a IP (Internet Protocol) based digital recording/viewing box.

For HD cameras.

-most nvr's have a internet connection.

 

Hybrid-NVR is a mixed analog and IP based digital recording/viewing box.

For analog and HD cameras.

-most hybrid-nvr's have a internet connection.

ok great so i have to get a nvr...which one would you recommend based on what i'm looking for? there seem to be hundreds of them and the 16 channel samsung is US1900.

 

Can i use a different nvr brand to the camera brand?

You need to set a budget for your cameras.

7 x Samsung SNO-6011R @ $350 = $2500

 

You need to set a budget for your NVR.

NVR can range from $500 - $5000+

 

Don't forget to factor and budget for installation, cabling costs.

If you are handy with power tools, and don't mind being on ladders, some savings here.

 

----------------------------------

My answer from my previous posted reply to you...

 

With IP, the recording device can be an all-in-one box called network video recorder (NVR)

Entry level NVR usually support only same make cameras.

Higher end NVR support different make cameras.

 

Also, with IP, the recording device can be a dedicated computer with network switch running video management software (VMS)

Entry level VMS usually support only same make cameras and is usually free.

Higher end VMS usually support many different types and brands and is not free.

--------------------------------------

 

 

If you are good with computers and have a fairly fast desktop pc kicking around, add a POE switch and vms software. More savings here.

well the installation could happen after i save some money...i just want to purchase it now while i can

 

what i meant was what is a good brand nvr to go with...which brand would you recommend? doesn't have to be the best of the best but one that will get the job done...lets say around $1,500

 

or do recommend going with the samsung nvr?

what are the main features i would want when picking an nvr?

 

Thanks so much again

You could purchase the nvr and get a couple of cameras to get started.

 

As you get more comfortable with setting up the first cameras for the front door and front yard, additional cameras can be added in the future.

 

If you plan on sticking with Samsung for your cameras, then a Samsung NVR is recommended.

 

Samsung's NVR should give you the best support of Samsung camera extra features such as alarms and motion detection.

 

The Samsung SRN-1670D is about $1900 with 1TB internal HD.

 

1TB is ok for a few cameras, but plan on adding another internal HD when you get above 4 cameras..

[ganjafarmer143 0]

so from what i could tell with the samsung nvr is there is a little taking apart to install a next hard drive...i'm thinking about a 4tb hard drive should be more than sufficient but i'm having difficulty finding it online...even on samsung's website

 

is there a difference between hdd for a computer and one for a nvr?

 

could u just point me to a website that has them for sale?

 

thanks again

The Samsung SRN-1670D can handle internally 5 x sata hd and externally 2 x e-sata hd.

 

The sata hard drive interface is a standard for computers.

 

Server or security rated hard drives is recommended as it will be in use 24/7.
