Hi, Most people use generic ones. You should be fine.

As long as you have extra ports on your DVR. I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are also pinhole versions of that board camera which only requires literally a pin sized hole. The quality image of a non pinhole lens looked better when I tested it.

What brand cameras? Will you be using RTSP or ONVIF? Nothing is better than free. Free requires low tech support when setting it up though.

Most hybrid software use ONVIF or RTSP. During tests I noticed inconsistent video transmission which was really disappointing. Just received a test hybrid NVR, It was good the first day but by day 3, the screen was freezing up from time to time. My recommendations. Stick with axis and pay the money if you don't want complications.

If its on IE try hitting the compatibility view/mode button

Tested HD-SDI on 300 feet of wiring and its clean and clear. We just used standard wiring. Coax. RG 59U 95% 18/2 Power Cable Our thinner premade cables did not work well however, there was smears and tears in the image video feed with flickering picture. Also a standard 3 feet cable with a bad twist on connector had the same effect. You need a tight connection.

Install the software over and directx. Update your video card drivers too.

yea ^^ I doubt its the power.

Dyndns actually gives you 1 free ddns if you quit the trial offer. But I think they send you an email every now and then so you can let them your your dns is still active.

CIF is to save hard drive space. D1 is maximum resolution for analog DVRs. Most DVRs show a D1 resolution but actually compress recordings to CIF making D1 Useless. You need a D1 recording @ 30 FPS for full benefits.

Hi, Your going to figure out what software you will use first and see the compatibility list.

Need the latest video card drivers and DirectX for best image. Onboard is almost always enough because it is usually rendered through directx.

Lots of IR. More the better. Big IRs can help also example an 8 mm vs 5mm.

realtime is considered 25-30 frames per second.

You should purchase a PCI DVR Card. Or just another cheap usb DVR and hope it doesn't burn out and is compatible with windows 7 64bit (try compatibility mode).
