Best options for moving from PC-based DVR to dedicated DVR?

[undone 0]

Hello,

 

I'm interested in moving from a PC-based (actually, OS X-based) DVR to a dedicated DVR, for reasons of performance, reliability, and simplicity. I currently use a variety of Sharx WiFi cameras outside.

 

Are there any dedicated DVR solutions that would accept third-party WiFi cameras like Sharx? I have asked AvertX and their DVRs do not support this. In addition to having a nice dedicated DVR (hopefully one that accepts my Sharx cameras), I would like to have a couple dedicated viewing stations.

 

Thanks for the advice!

Tough question to be answered. I do not think the standalone DVR could do better than PC based DVR, as long as wirelessly connectetd.

That's what I've been fearing... it seems the WiFi is a major issue for dedicated DVRs. WiFi is quite useful when your cameras are a good distance from your home or business!

 

If I dig a couple trenches to run Ethernet cables and get rid of the WiFi, how do my options for a high-quality (performance, reliability, and simplicity are extremely important) dedicated DVR to take advantage of my Sharx cameras (they work WiFi or wired) look then?

 

Thanks!
