Can anyone recommend a DVR with MJPEG streams?

Hi

I need a DVR that has individual MJPEG streams for a home automation app I am building. There seem to be various models available from America but these are all very expensive.

 

I managed to find a secondhand Wirepath WPS 300 16 CH and get it imported but it does not turn on (refund issued) so am now back to square one.

 

I have 6-7 analouge cameras and I do not want to swap them all out with IP camera. I need the DVR to:

 

Have 8+ channels

Have motion detect on all channels

Be able to send a dedicated MJPEG stream for each channel

Have some sort of iPhone app for remote view

 

The app I am building this all into will except any native video format that iPads do so it doesnt have to be MJPEG but it does have to have a dedicated stream address I can tap into.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Why not use any modern DVR unit that supports RTSP? I do not think it would be hard to make an iOS app that can get video from a RTSp stream.

Unfortunately the app (iViewer from Command Fusion) does not support RTSP. I use the app to control everything from AV equipment to lights and blinds etc and want to keep it all in this app.

 

It only supports MJPEG or any native iOS video format (http live encoded)
