BufordTJustice 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Hi All, I'm going to start saving my money for an HD IP camera system but it might take me a while before I have enough money to pull the trigger. In the meantime, i was going to buy something cheaper to get me by for possibly a year or so. I was leaning towards a Swann system but I need help with a few things. First, I was thinking a D1 DVR but I'm not sure what the most TVL's on the camera the DVR will handle. Would I benefit from 700tvl cameras on a D1 system or would the DVR not be able to handle those tvl's? Is there a big difference in D1 vs CIF? Can I use a CIF dvr with high tvl cameras? Just looking for some direction without breaking the bank. Like I said, this will be temporary. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grege 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Not sure if you want indoor our outdoor but I can sell you my Foscam cameras (2 indoor pan tilt and 1 outdoor fixed) if you want IP cameras. I've been using them for about a year to get my feet wet and I'm now upgrading to 4 ACTi outdoor cameras. They are definitely not the best and have some issues at times (i.e. outdoor one flickers which causes false emails and can have a darker picture at times) but for the price they might be what you need. PM me if interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
