Morning All, I work in a school and we use a bunch of Panasonic WV-SF332 cameras with Avigilon software. We currently pay astronomical prices to have cameras added and install (£2000 for one last week) and as a school it is a shame to see funding being used in this way. Could Anybody recommend an alternative camera that we could use on this system? I am unsure whether we can just plug in any old IP camera and expect it to work? Whether I need to look for particular features / standards? https://bizpartner.panasonic.net/public/system/files/files/fields/field_file/psd/2015/04/23/WV-SF332_2A-062JA_1429764506.pdf Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much tomcctv, very helpful! I appreciate it.

Good Morning! Could somebody please tell me what 'standard' a camera listed as a HD 1300TVL CMOS Dome CCTV Camera would be? They are £13 from an online auction site but the quality is actually a lot clearer than the cameras we use on our old system at work. If you could also have a look at my post in the DVR section related to this, I would be very grateful! These are the standards that seem to be recognised on most CCTV sites... 1080P 720P 960H 700TVL 650TVL 600TVL 540TVL 480TVL 420TVL PS I searched this site for 1300 TVL but found nothing

Thank you both for your responses. They work with my current box (luckily?). If I can ID that box http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51042 I guess I should be able to find a new more compact box of the same format... right? Thanks again!

I am looking to replace the large DVR unit in the attached picture (could anybody ID this?). The new unit needs to handle six HD 1300TVL CMOS cameras. If I were to buy a FLOUREON 8 Channel 960H 1080N box (£39 from 'that' auction site) would this handle those cameras well (half decent resolution and frame rate). None of the listings show 1300TVL as a resolution, so I am unsure what I need to look for. I would hopefully take the HDD out of the old unit and use it in the new one... unless it is PATA.
