Ralos 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if Dahua had a new DVR coming out with greater resolution than D1 as advertised here. http://empiresecuritycameras.com/ Does anyone know when this will be coinmng out? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted July 13, 2012 Hi. its been out for a long time. For the price it is very limited to other better hybrids out there. even with another hybrid you can run 16 1mp cameras and not be limited as you will be with the dahua / hikvision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralos 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Thank you for the info. I was comparing the hybrid from Empire Security with the one from another source and the one from the other source is limited to D1 resolution for the CCTV cameras. Are these Dahuas the same? I was seriously considering the Dahua hybrid. What other hybrids were you referring to and what are the cost comparisons? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted July 13, 2012 *ALL* DVRs, hybrid or not, are limited to D1 for analog cameras. 960H is a gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nDAlk90 0 Posted July 13, 2012 If your going to spend the money on a 960H, why not go to IP system? Why are you considering 960H? 960H is a gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralos 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I like the Mona Lisa cameras with the day/night or low lux ability and the cost of the cameras. IP cameras in my opinion are rather expensive for what you get. I do have 2 older panasonic IP cameras that I will be using. My application is a residential setting with basically one entrance to monitor so I figure I don't need anything fancy but would like to get decent cctv cameras. The hybrid dvr offers me more flexibility as I expand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted July 14, 2012 The hybrid dvr offers me more flexibility as I expand. hi. not with a Dahua ...... its limited from the start. its not a true hybrid.... your limitd both with analog and ip if using the 960h hybrid. I do have 2 older panasonic IP cameras that I will be using. with older cameras. they are fine but if the software was done before Onvif then you are going to be stuck if dahua does not have a workable patch to enable your cameras to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralos 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Thank you for all the information. I am getting more confused though. In what ways are you limited with analog? Would you have any suggestions for any hybrids that would apply to my setup or should I go pure analog? How are the dahuas that are strictly analog? I have 2 Panasonic BL-C1 ip cameras. Thank you for all the great information! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gesualdo 0 Posted July 15, 2012 I am looking to do something similar to the original poster for the thread and I am equally confused. I need to update my system from analog to ip but do not want to change out everything at once. I only have 4 cameras to replace and was looking at the same dvr as they were. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/File/201112/20111229153142985.pdf What is a better recommendation that you are talking about? Iwas also looking at bullet cameras but do not want to replace the cables. what is recommended for that also? thanks gesualdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovyman 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Consider taking a look at the Aver Nano Hybrid DVRs. The 4CH can have any combination of IP & analog cameras. It has a large IP camera support list which is available for download on the Aver website. http://averusa.com http://surveillance.aver.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gesualdo 0 Posted July 16, 2012 the Aver does not appear to have all the features the Dahua dvr does or am I mistaken? Would one of the others from them serve better or move to an 8 channel that will have larger resolutions with fewer cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovyman 0 Posted July 17, 2012 A fairer comparison to the Dahua DVR in the pdf link posted would be the Aver EH6216H, not the Nano. Wasn't sure a 16CH system was wanted. Although the 16CH Aver Nano Hybrid is decent, take a look at the EH6216H. I'm sure whatever you decide to go with will suit your purposes - just throwing another idea out there for ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gesualdo 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks groovyman, 16 channel is more than I wanted but if I need to go there to get features and without limitations(?) for future upgrades to system then thats where we go. Gesualdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
