Techbox 0 Posted October 12, 2015 Hi all Should be a easy question for the most of you, if posted in the wrong place please relocate I have a Swann DVR 4200 4 camera system I need to change into a 8 camera system. The original packaging says I can do that. I just do not know what I need to order for the cabling to change it over. If maybe someone could post a link for one being sold on Ebay or somewhere so I know what I am looking for. Thanks so much, any questions feel free to ask =) Thanks =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Techbox 0 Posted October 12, 2015 Hmmm, not good. I was told when I bought this they could be split from 4 cameras to 8.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 12, 2015 Hmmm, not good. I was told when I bought this they could be split from 4 cameras to 8.... Hi yes it could be 4-9 or 16 ...... You will have to count how many BNC inputs it has on the back of your unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogieman 1 Posted October 12, 2015 Hmmm, not good. I was told when I bought this they could be split from 4 cameras to 8.... no, it cant. They lied to you. If it has 4 inputs on that back, you are limited to 4 cameras. Like tom said, count the inputs. What is the EXACT model you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Techbox 0 Posted October 13, 2015 Dvr-4200 is the model and there is 4 camera inputs, but I was told this could be split up to 8. Disappointed if I was lied to, need this to be a 8 camera system not 4. Thanks for all the input Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for all the input Rich Hi Swann 4200 systems have part numbers like this DVR4-4200 = 4 chan DVR9-4200= 9 chan DVR16 4200= 16 chan If you only have 4 BNC inputs then you have the DVR4 -4200 You will need to change your dvr to move to 8 camera system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
