Hi Everyone Thanks for the great responses. shockwave199 - What is the two way audio via RCA for if it doesn't record sound? Are there any audio-capable cameras that have high-quality mics? Essentially for our required purposes, we can't use a separate video camera, and have already installed the Panasonic WV-SF336's, as well as a Hikvision DS-7608NI-SE/P. We ideally don't want to spend money on an entirely new system. Any thoughts from anyone?

Hi there, I'm hoping someone here might be able to give me some advice. Our company currently has a super high quality audio recording system, as well as a HD video recording system for our boardroom. We currently have an issue where the recorded audio is not as good as the live audio feed. This is due to the inability of the recorder to receive input from the high quality microphone that captures the live sound. Our current system uses: Panasonic WV-sf336e IP (cameras x 3) Panasonic WJ-NV200K (NVR) One of our cameras currently records the low quality audio, but we want to be able to record directly from the high-quality microphone. Working with our sound engineer, we understand that a new recording unit (NVR) could make it possible to receive input from the installed microphone, and record this quality sound with the video. This would require RCA inputs as we understand it, which the current Panasonic unit does not have. We’re looking to have the same high quality in both our live feed and recording, and would also ideally like the new recorder to have the option of remote viewing for our clients. I have found the following unit which looks like it might be suitable, but I was wondering whether it would be compatible, or if there were some better units out there. http://www.shopsecurity2u.com.au/swann-16-channel-hd-nvr-security-system.html Can anyone help? Would you be able to recommend a recording unit, or help us in this matter in any way? The unit would need to be compatible obviously with the cameras, and have cat5e connection as well. Kind regards,
