nebulate 0 Posted January 3, 2015 I bought a Samsung SDE 4001 a few years back which proved to be the worst purchase for a beginner. I have had to send it back two times and now the DVR has gone again. My question: The cameras that I still have up ( are connected by cat 5 to the DVR. Can I replace the DVR with another brand and connect those cameras? If so, any suggestions, because I have had trouble finding a DVR that has cat 5 such as the Samsung. I know this is basic I just don't want to buy a whole new system if I do not have to and I do not have the experience to get detailed. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 0 Posted January 6, 2015 It looks as if you are stuck with your Samsung system. They will or have annouced the are getting out of the CCTV do it yourself division. Sorry you got caught with this junk. Remember this. If you bought it , say at a discount store. Look around the store. If the systems they are selling are so great. Why haven't they installed their own systems to protect their own stores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nebulate 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah... I know what you mean. Which now I see that and see why I should not have bought the system. Thanks for your reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
