greatlabtec 0 Posted June 16, 2013 I have three WIFI IP cams all up and running off one router. We are on a tight budget so was wondering if I bought a network capable DVR and attached this to the same router (via ethernet cable) if this would pick up the WIFI cams, maybe after a bit of tweaking and inputting the camera IP addresses? I know i can use a PC and that the cams have there own software to view them remotely, I just want a dedicated DVR to do the job instead. I looked at hybrid and NVR systems but these are more expensive. Has anyone tried the above? would it work. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver1 0 Posted June 16, 2013 A network capable dvr will allow you to watch analogue cameras through a modem. A dvr will only receive analogue data from analogue cameras. You could give it a go, but it would be like plugging a microphone into a fridge. You need an nvr, or if you don't want to spend any money just get milestone on the pc.
