Most of the cameras/housings that I have installed in the past have a pigtail out of the circuit board to power the camera after you power the heater in the housing. Or you can just split the power wire in the camera housing to run both. Most 24vac power supplies are sufficient to run both devices unless the housing is just a power draw beast

Rory: Found a little on Dahua I think. (I may have not found the correct site) They do not look much more than a glorified speco product. Limited to combinations of 24 analog/Ip cameras per system. There may be bigger systems, that's just all I found. Tomcctv/bpzle. The Aver system mentioned looks good will keep that one in mind if Exacq falls by the wayside Like their predecessor Integral.

yes take a look at the dahua hybrid oooops its not. the aver is and supports 90% of cameras. out of all hybrid systems Exacq and aver are the best options In my school district we have 15 full IP Exacq systems and 4 Exacq Hybrid Systems. I am trying to stick with the same manufacturer throughout but am having trouble determining the best solution for 1 dead Dvr out of the 3 at one site. May just get a hybrid Exacq and let them have to deal with two monitoring softwares till all cameras are replaced with ip or the other two systems go by the way side! Thanks for all the advice Much help

bpzle: Full analog site but wired NVT with cat V so that will make converting to IP a breeze. I am not familiar with Duah. Can ya'll give me the website link? I work for a school district and less money is always a huge concern.
