Hello, i'm wondering has anyone used an exisitng CCTV set up with old cameras or dvr's for example with a digital DVR. What kind of resolution can you get? Is it limited to the camera tech, or the dvr tech. I have an analogue set up but was wondering how good the hybrid DVR's actually are? I have come across this - www.rfconcepts.co.uk/ahd/dvr-ahd.html which ssyas the quality is there, but has anyone actually used hybrid's before? thanks

Thank you gents. Yes I actually contacted rfconcepts.co.uk and they informed me I had the correct BS cabling, its just Vivotek were being ultra cautious, I didnt need to cut the ends off. Just finished tracking and installing the vivotek cctv camera system (and got quite a tan) weather..... and as Tom says the vivotek system is superb! thanks guys.

Anybody?????

Hello everyone, newbie here so be gentle.... Knowledge level somewhere between basic > Know a little. Okay, so I purchased a Vivotek network PoE system and today got an email from Vivotek warning me of overheated cable issues on non-standard CAT5e & CAT6 Ethernet cables. See here: https://rfconcepts.co.uk/blog/vivotek-advice/ My question is how do i find out what spec my cabling is? I haven't fixed the cables yet (this was this weekends work) Is this a real issue? I mean any ideas on what extra wattage would cost me on a 3 camera x 1 DVR link up? Or am i panicking over nothing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, just dont want to track and install only to pull out again... O er...
