New QSEE cameras not working with old dvr

[smokingjoe 0]

Hi all

I need help with a Qsee System.

I do not have a lot of experience with analog systems.

QT4760 16 channel DVR. This DVR is about 5yrs old.

I am trying to add two new cameras. QCA8045B.

When I connect the cameras to the DVR they do not show up.

I am thinking that it may be a compatibility problem but not sure.

What do I need to be looking for when I am buying cameras

that will work with this DVR?

 

Thanks

Back again

After doing a little searching it seems like QSEE had different series cameras.

I am seeing QT, QTH and QC.

The cameras that we bought are QC.

I am guessing that since the dvr is a QT4760 that maybe I need cameras that start with QT.

Is this the only thing that I need to be looking for?

Hi!

Your dvr works with analog cameras (cvbs), with resolution 960h or D1. Your new camera works in new standard Analog High Definition (aka AHD) with resolution 2mp. It's incompatible with your dvr.

However some ahd cameras can switch to cvbs mode via wire joystick or locking special wires if they present.

You need buy any CVBS cameras or AHD 4in1 cameras (can switch to cvbs mode)

No, actual Qsee models wth QT not compatible with your dvr. There is AHD cameras.

in my opinion Qsee not a good choice afterall. They have no detailed photos and instructions in their site.

Therefore it is difficult to choose right.

I thank you for the reply and the information.

I will order two of the CVBS/960h cameras.

It sounds like this will get us going again.

Thanks and have a good day.
