DVR Recommendations to replace existing system

[rtq2334 0]

Hello from Queensland, Australia.

 

I was hoping someone could help me as I'm still somewhat beginner with DVR systems but technically minded.

 

I'm looking for a recommendation on what DVR to buy for our Perth Office.

The office already has 6 Security Cameras in the building, but the DVR unit has died (fan is faulty or power issue)

 

Here is a image of the DVR unit & cables, it appears to be a generic brand.

 

 

This is the unit I'm thinking about purchasing at Jay Car

Has anyone else got any recommendations?

 

Will need Remote/Network view via Browser & ideally App.

 

Appreciate any help.

 

Thankyou!

Hi. That is a different format than yours and will not run your cameras.

Hi,

 

Try to look for another type which is HD-CVI DVR. This is a Tri-brid DVR where in the future you can change your analog cameras to High Definition-CVI cameras with up to 5 megapixel while using your existing coax cable. you can install a smart PSS to view it in your PC and a software to view it in your android or iphone type of mobile phone.

Thanks tomcctv and ferdzff,

 

Can you give me some examples of systems that I will need or refer some example products/specifications, or help me understand why it wont work?

 

Would something like this be more suitable?

Hi. Your current cameras are analog so will not run on your first link listed.

 

Your last link is a good unit and will run your existing cameras ... and it also allows you to update your cameras later to HD cameras.

 

I would also surgest if you order that recorder also order 1 CVI camera...... then you will see the difference

 

Your last link is a dahua unit

Hi,

 

Tom has the right answer go for Dahua DVR. i upgrade 80 cameras including PTZ cameras from analog to high definition using HD-CVI DVR and still using the existing analog cameras. gradually i replace the analog to HDCVI during our preventive maintenance.
