nikisi 0 Posted February 21, 2015 We have existing cameras at my work. The old VHS machine and monitor we were using went bad and I need to find a replacement. I would like to find a DVR with 500 mg recording storage, motion activated recording, and plug and play strait to a monitor (remote viewing over the internet or other devises NOTE REQUIRED). Could anyone suggest a good reliable 4 channel DVR with a price point under $200? I was looking at the Zmodo ZMD-DD-SAN8-1TB 8CH H.264 CIF Real Time DVR with Preinstalled 1TB HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lesst 0 Posted February 22, 2015 In my opinion CIF recording is worse than the VHS your replacing. CIF is 320x240 pixels where VHS is at least full frame. You won’t see much of anything at ¼ frame CIF resolution. You want a DVR with full frame D1 recording for analog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
