corviarbob 0 Posted April 25, 2021 i had a question going about this but a bit different question so let me start over with a dfferent approch. i have a 16 channel dvr and i have a 8 channel nvr the 16ch dvr has 8 old zmodo analog cams on it and it has 4 of the switchable tyep analog cameras, they are set to tvi but cn be set to cbbs, ahd, cvi formats. i have the nvr with 6 foscam ip wifi / network cameras on it and those foscam cameras are only using the network as i turned off the wifi. so because it looks like i may not be be able to find a unit that will work good with both types of cameras what do you think of this dvr? HD 16CH DVR XVR for AHD CVBS CVI TVI Cameras NEW Solution HD 1080P free P2P DDNS for just the analog cameras for what i have now and future cams. and i will just keep using the monitor switch to switch back and forth to see the units as i need to check on them for recording? here is a link to this so you might check it out and tell me if i might be able to at least work with this one and then if i need get another nvr when needed just for the ip cams? https://www.ebay.com/i/162529856764?_trksid=p11011.c100360.m3755&_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150112100634%26meid%3D98e0d2ba5fc94f25b488de5c06043a25%26pid%3D100360%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26b%3D1%26sd%3D143665192190%26itm%3D162529856764%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D11011%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DLEXACCTV&ul_noapp=true thanks for the help and ideas? i would really like to get one unit for both types of cameras but that is getting to be a hard topic to resolve. thanks bp.

corviarbob 0 Posted April 25, 2021 thanks i will just leave it as it is. it is not worth messing around with anymore. it does what i want now i was just looking to get a dvr at least that would be an upgrade for the new cameras. my nvr can see those analog cameras now and when that system fails i may just get a system that has the cameras with it. maybe even a wifi system that is a stand alone system. again that answered that question thanks a lot now i know.
