Thanks for the pointers
When you speak of analog camera dvr, how would you differentiate between digital and analog?
I have found a better DVR, Q-See QT5680-1, and I'm trying to understand if it is digital or analog?
The dvr mentioned above has a "D1" recording resolution...and HDMI compared to others that offer VGA ports.
Analog will use coax wires and have a resolution of maybe 700tv lines whereas digital (ip) will use Ethernet cables and have resolutions starting at 1.3mp and go up from there.
D1 resolution is somewhere about 720x480. HD resolution starts at 1080x720. Don't quote me on the resolutions. It's a general idea.
Hdmi and VGA ports are a matter of how you want to hook up the output from the DVR. Hdmi will not make a lower resolution appear better.
