sdnomad 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Is there any benefit in viewing quality, etc. to buying a DVR with HMDI output 1920x1080 if you are only recording at D1 704x480? If you are recording at 704x480, won't your best display resolution be at 704x480? I am new to the CCTV market. I am looking at buying a DVR system and I'm trying to understand what is needed to get the best picture quality if you are recording at D1 resolution. Do you just need to look for a display resolution output of 704x480 or is there any added clarity if you buy a DVR with HDMI. The cameras I am looking at using are the Sony Effio-e camera with 700TVL. This is the DVR I was looking to buy.
