converter for bnc analog cam to ip ?

[vWQ21D 0]

i had installed some northern outdoors cams, "dtw212hir960". these have the bnc connectors into the dvr. the dvr has reached its max connections.

 

i have a couple of extra cams i'd like to convert to "IP connected" if possible? like a converter or something not too costly.

 

is there such a converter?

they have them, they are called encoders and are expensive at least 80 each..you are WAY better off running Ethernet and installing an ip camera like the hikvision 2032 for 85 dollars on ali express some price..but much better image

looks like i would need one per cam.

 

i think you're right. because the wiring is going through the attic and i don't have the bnc type cable but have a lot of ethernet. putting those little trend units in the attic that needs an a/c outlet and in the desert summer heat just seems a bit much.

 

i'll see if hikvision has ip/poe cams

 

 

thx

If you are out of ports on the DVR are you planning on turning something into an NVR/Hybrid unit to record these additional cameras?

i'm out of ports on this DVR but i have a synology unit with surveillance app for ip cams. when i upgraded the 4 outside cams, that left me with 4 northern cctv cams.

 

i thought if it weren't too expensive i could convert the sig for ip and use the synology app.

 

but, this digital watchdog 4-channel vmax flex unit, i think i may upgrade. don't particularly like its software and i think, the video could be a better quality.
