Kawboy12R 0 Posted October 20, 2013 The short answer is no. An IP camera can't be used with an analog h.264 DVR but can be used with a network h.264 NVR. The difference is between DVR (for analog cameras) and NVR (for network IP cameras), not whether they use h.264 video compression. There are some hybrid DVRs that can view and record IP cameras, but unless you've got a hybrid with a number of RJ45 jacks on the back, then that RJ45 jack you see in the back of your DVR is for connecting your DVR to your network for remote viewing, not for viewing and recording network cameras.
