tosvus 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Hi, I'm looking for a 4-channel dvr that can record in D1 on all channels simultanously - more specifically at least 15 fps, preferably 30 fps. I have seen the argument that for most people 30 fps is overkill - well, I'm the exception, I need at least 15 fps (to scrape by) but would prefer more. Just as important, the video needs to be as High Quality as possible - meaning, the higher the bitrate and the better the encoding engine is, the better. I would prefer 8 mbit/channel/sec but probably no less than 4 mbit. As long as it has SATA connector, space is not an issue. Budget-wise, I'm looking at about $500 or less (i.e. if I can get one that provides "unsurpassed(realistically speaking..)" video quality at 15fps for $300, that would be great, but if there is significant improvement by going up to $500 or so, I'd definitely consider it.

rory 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Maybe look at the QVis Apollo pro 4 channel (Dahua HE-T) D1 30fps each channel, max 8x 2TB HDDs. Image Resolution - D1/4CIF(704×480) / HD1(352×480) / 2CIF(704×240) / CIF(352×240) / QCIF(176×120) Encoding Speed - Main Stream: D1/HD1/2CIF/CIF(1~30fps), Extra Stream: CIF/QCIF(1~30fps) Bit Rate - 32~2048Kb/s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tosvus 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for the quick response! I will certainly take a look! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tosvus 0 Posted October 15, 2011 unfortunately it only records D1 on first channel. The other channels are recorded at lower res. Any other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted October 15, 2011 The Apollo PRO or Dahua HE-T records 704x480 30fps every channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted October 15, 2011 unfortunately it only records D1 on first channel. I think you see the regular Apollo HD. The Apollo HD Pro does D1 on all channels 30 fps per channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tosvus 0 Posted October 16, 2011 ok, sorry guys. I searched and did not see the pro model. Will check it out. Also see a Q-See pro 8 channel model that is fairly reasonable that seems to do this. Any experiences, good or bad with this or any of the units recommended in this thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted October 19, 2011 Hikvision 7204HFIST does 4ch D1 real time, but it is entry level, only one SATA connector (I put link to my web site because I can not find it on hikvision.com) http://www.securame.com/grabador-dvr-hikvision-ds7204hfist-4ch-video-d1-100fps-4ch-audio-h264-vga-lan-sata-p-969.html If you want something better, 8104HFIS/8104HFIST also does 4ch D1 real time, with up to 8 SATA ports. http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_show.asp?id=71 http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_show.asp?id=5014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
