Greeting all. My name is Jay and I am the founder of a New England based paranormal research group. We currently have a VERY basic 4-channel DVR system that we take on the road with us. Well we quickly grew out of this system and are looking into upgrading to a 16 channel however I have very little knowledge of video systems and would like some suggestions. We are currently looking at this system: [edit by mod - store link removed] however feel that it may be overpriced. We are non-profit and all expenses come out of pocket, usually mine so with that being said are looking to get the most bang for our buck without going over budget. This company is asking $1700.00 for this system which is actually WAY more than we wanted to invest but due to the nature of what we do; we need a system that offers the best quality we can afford.
I spoke to the sales rep here and he was telling me that most systems can record just a few cameras in high quality and the rest at a lower quality simultaneously however with this particular system we can record with all the cameras in high quality at the same time. Based on the specs given what does he mean and can this system actually give us high quality recording on all channels?
Another issue we’re running into is that with the new system we want to also record audio to each camera. Can someone explain how I can accomplish this and where I can purchase good quality audio/video/power cables. The ones on e-bay are extremely thin and cheap.
Thanks for the help!!!
