danger_e 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Many IP cameras on the market right now have a microSD card slot and can record to the card. There are a lot of differences in the cameras though. Do you have any other requirement besides internal record? Are you looking for a megapixel (high definition) camera? Or just a standard definition? Indoor or outdoor? There are a lot of cameras out there to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dipol_CCTV 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Hi! one month or week. so which is it then? I'd say You should consider IP camera with SD card. Its a future and SD picture is way worse than HD. But if You have decided for SD, I guess You should buy a DVR + 4 analogue cameras, place them in Your store and use DVR video server for remote preview. DVR can use only one HDD 2TB, which is more that sufficient for 1 month of recordings in 4CIF(PAL=704x576). Besides for security reasons, its better to record somewhere on hidden DVR than on SD card in camera. SD cards should be considered only as a redundant recording.
