Chris . Cost wise new dvr would be better. Going down the old PC pci card is old tech ...if your not bothered with remote viewing and you have an old PC to use .......pci is not a good option if you want to use your daily PC Hard drive partion extra hard drive space .....by the time you cost it up and still have old tech then standalone is best.

mcmental 0 Posted April 6, 2018 thanks for that, now i guess i need to find a suitable dvr, at minute i just have a 8ch and im looking to keep all the cameras, are the hikvision items good? ideally i want to be able to view on my phone and also laptop whilst at work away from the house. thanks chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
