H Folks, I have many questions today, it's been many years not posting on the site. I've recently decided to replace my Security camera's and DVR, bought two Samsung camera's last week. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1036708-REG/samsung_scd_2060e_1_3_high_resolution_day_night.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1094883-REG/samsung_scd_5083_1280h_wide_dynamic_range.html The SCD-5083 arrived dead I think After hooking up power/video the camera just clicks continuously. I have nothing on my monitor and the shutter just clicks. The same channel works perfect on the SCD-2060, but the camera is now discontinued. Should I also return that camera being it's not getting made anymore. B&H is doing an exchange for the SCD-5083 but thought I should ask for more info about the dead camera issue and returning the SCD-2060. My next question is about setting everything up, I had a Kit (Plug & Play) and wasn't aware my options. I was looking at this handheld but don't know the good/bad brands. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEO7E8A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A1QUHU5SP0WQFD Now the DVR I need a 8 Ch unit an want a Brand name, I was looking at this Bosch unit as it supports 1080P but the specs don't mention 1080P http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1009271- REG/bosch_f_01u_279_683_divar_5000_8_channel_digital_video.html My Security Camera knowledge is low, so sticking with Analog is perfect I was lost on these signal terms AHD HD-TVI HD-CVI HD-SDI We don't have any security camera stores locally and everything needs to be bought online, I also can't even find a Bosch/Samsung dealer in Ontario Canada. Thank you

hi. before you buy any cameras look at the quality of the dvr. in your post you have 1 listed that says D1 good quality............ its not till you get to the spec that its D1 viewing live only recording is only done at CIF. which is no good for your setup (store use) Maximum Recording Resolution...................................................CIF (352 x 288) Recording Speed (Frame) 30 FPS per Camera (NTSC) / 25 FPS (PAL) please spend more on cameras than the budget q-see or owl. your looking at something to give your good images in a retail store. Hi So what kind of DVR should I really look for,I don't have a clue on what D1 means or CIF. Also how high of a number on a 4 channel dvr should I look for. If you were saying 352 x 288) is Garbage I was told by the police I need a system that has the date/time etc on all the images. I know your a very busy person but from what those two stores list what setup or pieces should I buy. thanks
