Qvis is largest in Europe and are makers there is no problem buying and are the only company to sell cvi tvi IP analog all on one unit hmm i looked on different places, amazon, etc, but i never found it... i did find this one, looks like it might work.... pretty cheap so i might buy it jst for an experiment. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KKMOON-16Ch-960H-D1-CCTV-Network-Standalone-H-264-HDMI-Security-System-N93R/311511789115?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D39035%26meid%3Dcf892930d0d545a29b60e6bba3044942%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D291557456084

I have a 5 years old 16 channel dvr that seems to be done for, it just keeps rebooting over and over, and since I no longer store any video on it anymore, and simply use it to stream over to my blue iris pc. I'm planning on upgrade my 16 analog cameras to ip so I don't really want to spend a bunch... currently i have a qvis which is guess is a dahua clone, it works fine, so something like that would be good, but i don't really need much else. any suggestions?

so no qvis dvr... any other ideas, apparently you can't buy qvis dvr anymore at least on my google searching.

i have 3 ip cameras also and the blue iris app on the iphone and on the pc is so much better than mypss and local login, also I have a homeseer home automation and blue iris has a plugin for that. overall just a really good application. but i have to also keep the dvr to output coax because i have that connected in my house to 8 tv's as well.

some cameras will write a network share, others will just write to their own sd card, you can just login and view you buy the software to make it easier, you will have hours and hours and hours of files and the software is designed to separate the wheat from the chaff, it's a good investment.. i have 2 copies of blue iris. and running about 22 cameras now.. plus i use the iphone app and it works great.

ahh i see the thread, pretty much on point. interesting discussion re paying more for support.

has anyone used the 5mp cameras on aliexpress, they are all pretty cheap, and I'd take a gamble on them, but I wonder if they are any good, i use blue iris, so i really don't care about their interface, because i'll just put the stream into blue iris and go from there. any ideas? thoughts? 100 bucks for a 5mp camera seems pretty good to me.

I am trying to setup a input on my tv's, all of them can stream dlna, so i'd like to take the rtsp stream for my front door and then send that to dlna so that I can just easily switch to that input if someone rings the door bell, right now if i'm watching tv I have to switch to the spot view and then wait for it to rotate to the front door and by then they have walked away. any ideas on how to accomplish this. I am actually in the process of putting in home automation so this might be a moot point in a few weeks, but for that I wonder if this is possible.

i never came up with a solution

wow cheapest i found was 900, i guess for that i can just get a hdmi matrix.. that may be the way to go i guess.

I currently have an analog system throughout my house with 16 cameras. They are old 600tvl cameras and at the time seemed like a good idea, but I have put a few 3mp cameras at the office and the difference is night and day, so I want to switch. My spouse enjoys the heck out of the cameras and so I used the rg6 video out from the dvr and split the video 6 ways with good results and now I can watch the cameras in any of those locations throughout the house. Typically my wife will leave the security cameras on in the kitchen tv. or in the kids rooms if she is in there, now my house was wired for satellite tv so there was already rg6 run everywhere through the house, but the question is if I switch to all ip cameras and run some sort of blue iris system how can I get the video out of the computer and then distribute it to all of the tv's in the house. I do have ethernet run to almost every tv, but runing a hdbaseT balun to 6 tv's will get mighty expensive.

would the dedicated dvr forum be a better place for this question? of note I already have a blue iris system at my office and it works great, but I can only distribute the video to my iphone/ipad, not to different tv's. of course I don't have tv's all around my office like I do at home.

I bought 2 of these direct from empire security cameras about a month ago. After some initial hiccups, this was my first ip camera setup, I am proud to report that these images look great and it's a great price. I am trying to post some videos on youtube, but for some reason when I export the videos from blue iris all I get are static images, even though they export a .x264 and they are opening via vlc. I do have the fps set down to 5 fps, I don't really need much faster than that, and I prefer a great image to fast frame rate and with 2 cameras connecting into blue iris on my work computer, the cpu usage stays about 6-7 percent. the night quality isn't the best, I have a lot of light bleed onto the dome and back, they are ok, but in doing my own research to get to a great night image I would have to spend substantially more money. I have some images saved on my desktop, but I don't know how to post them, if someone has a guide or something I will be happy to link some pictures in, but suffice it to say they are amazing quality

i got one, 16 channel professional d1 30fps x 16 i think, and it's great, and the app that you spend a couple bucks for is better than the free one, but both work. it's a dahua as well.

I have a apollo 16 channel dvr for my analog cameras. I am currently splitting the video to 2 different tv' via the spot output. The runs are about 100 feet. IF I try to split the video into 4 or more, which is what I want the signal becomes very degraded. I believe I need a distribution amplifier, so I bought one, and now I have no video out at all if this thing is wired inline. it is this. channel master 3414 http://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-Outputs-Distribution-Amplifier/dp/B001PI09SE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379789489&sr=8-1&keywords=distribution+amplifier+4+port any ideas of what I could purchase to split the spot output.. this is a great dvr, d1 on all 16 channels at 7fps, but it works very well, cost me about 700 back in the day(ie about 18 months ago), but I can't seem to split the video. I was thinking about trying to add a rtsp viewer into xbmc which is on a few of my tvs, or somehow get boxee box to view the cameras, but I already have the wires I think a splitter would be easiest. currently it's outputting with a bnc connector, but I can change to an f connector easily enough, actually it's a f connector now that I put the new distribution amp on today. I will be sending this one back to amazon, but I don't like shipping things back if I don't have to.

thank you. Would also the Shinybow SB3702-BNC work if I wanted to split it 8 times? or Should I not expect to be able to split the signal that much. http://www.amazon.com/1x9-Composite-Distribution-Amplifier-Splitter/dp/B0028RA46I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379799440&sr=8-3&keywords=shinybow+composite++video+distribution+amplifier+splitter well i will be able to tell you guys in 4 days if it works, because it's being shipped today!

isn't the other thing an amplifier as well? from channel master Follow Tom advice you got from Amazon RF splitter you need video splitter thank you. Would also the Shinybow SB3702-BNC work if I wanted to split it 8 times? or Should I not expect to be able to split the signal that much. http://www.amazon.com/1x9-Composite-Distribution-Amplifier-Splitter/dp/B0028RA46I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379799440&sr=8-3&keywords=shinybow+composite++video+distribution+amplifier+splitter

isn't the other thing an amplifier as well? from channel master

here's a day video from the camera

i have a synology, it's a charge per camera after one free one that's included, and i think it's a 100 per camera or something like that, I have 16 cameras, 1600 bucks is ridiculous and that's just for the license not the hardware..

most businesses need them to watch parking lots for breakin's. That's what I use my camera's for. Someone tried to break in the backdoor. with a crowbar... Of course that day is crazy strong so they couldn't get in, but I now have 2 camera's watching that door, so next time I will get good pictures of that, plus I had people try to steal copper from my a/c units. Of course if you are a renter in a building you wouldn't get it, the owner of the building would.

if you find out post it please. I have one of those dvr's and really would like to be able to get to the stream. i'm actually not even using that dvr anymore just for this reason.

actually that's quite a good idea, currently i run 2 coax from my media closet down to the all of the tv's, and i use one coax for cable box,ie fios, and the second one is for the spot output, but i could just switch it and run front door only, but I would lose the ability to see the other's

ok i'm going to go with it can't be done based on the lack of replies, do you guys have any idea of where else I could ask this question so that I could get a answer, maybe this isn't the best place to ask?

well i know it hasn't been awhile, but the idea is that i can stream a rtsp stream and I really want to have one of the inputs on my tv just display a live webvideo feed, anyone know how to do that
