Neutech 0 Posted March 7, 2015 No...... 4 Channel is 4 channel you will need to upgrade to an 8 channel and sell your 4 channel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted March 8, 2015 OR you could run one channel through a switcher which would alternate that channel between two cameras. All the problems of switchers ( missed events etc) would be present for those two cameras. For the price of DVRs now days take Nuetechs advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiqo4284 0 Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks for the Advice Guys, By the way could i ask where to buy or what does the Switcher looks like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 187 Posted March 8, 2015 Upgrade is best but if a switch box will do what you need then I would look for a picture in picture box that way you can have two images in one window but if detect motion that camera will go full screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 8, 2015 Or you could get a "quad". That way you can record up to 4ch in one single channel; but of course, at 1/4 the resolution. Best solution is to get a new 8ch DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
