DVR advice / recommendation for wired system

Recommended Posts

We currently have 3, 800TVL - 2.8MM LENS - 10-15M IR - bullet cameras linked via cable directly to a h264 4 channel dvr. I'm a bit of a cctv novice, you can probably tell by that set up we bought originally!

 

The cameras are ok (and as we have the cables in place seems to make sense to stay with a wired system as opposed to a wireless one..?) but the DVR is very clunky and the operating system difficult to use. Could someone please recommend a good DVR as we want to upgrade it.

 

I can't really find any good advice online about DVRs although Hikvision, Dahau and Zmodo appear to be reasonably good brands. Any help gratefully received.

Wow 3,800 TVL???. I do not think it meaningful for HD Cameras. If they are HD-Analog cameras, the selection of the DVR should be matched with the cameras (either one of these HD-CVI, HD-TVI, HD-AHD)

Take Zmodo out of that sentence and either one you get you will be alright.....

 

Thanks for replying, so if I went for a Hikvison or Dahau DVR to fit with my current cameras (which appear to be be pretty rubbish judging from Sunny lol) which type should I go for?

 

I have done some research and it appears DVR will record at 960H, 720P, 1080P. Should I get a hybrid one that records at my current camera resolution and high resolutions, so that when I can afford to upgrade the cameras to 1080p the DVR will work with them?

 

Thanks again.
