Need to replace my dying 2MCCTV 16 channel analog dvr. POS is barely 3 years old. Thing is pretty loud, and I don’t like the client software all that much.
I have to keep re-formatting the disk every few days to get it to operate, and sometimes it just mysteriously quits recording. One feature that I need to preserve is the ability to send the feed of one camera to an lcd I have installed inside my front door (acts as a peephole). Need to record the feed, too, though. I loop-out of the current dvr (there’s a BNC output for each camera) and send it to the front door lcd via Siamese cable. All of the dvrs I have looked at so far do not have this feature (loop-out, or a spot that I can dedicate to one camera); if there is another way (splitter?) to do this, I’m all ears. The current dvr uses H.264 compression, and records at 7FPS per channel in D1 resolution. I need at least this performance; of course, better is welcome. My cameras are 700TVL, except for one which is 480 TVL (indoor ‘smoke alarm’ hidden camera). So, any recommendations from the hive? |
