pob 0 Posted September 29, 2021 Hello, I recently upgraded my Dvr to a 16ch Dvr so I could add more cameras, When I add more than 8 cams, one of the other cams instantly goes off of or the cam Im adding flickers and doesn't stay on, I've tried multiple camera types, and cables (It doesn't seem to be an issue with the cam brands as will even do it with the original floureon cams I already had) the Dvr - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173987366143?hash=item28827484ff:g:hNEAAOSw3ZhdSCzw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted September 29, 2021 Hi. Looking at the spec you have bought a AHD system which will limit you to cameras you can use also that recorder has a res limit you can either buy the right cameras but your cheapest option is to replace your recorder to something that takes all camera formats 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pob 0 Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks, -Can you recommend a cheapish 16ch hybrid recorder for the time being? As in the next few years, I reckon I'll upgrade to digital Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pob 0 Posted September 30, 2021 Yeah,( need 16 cams) it's a big house, I've ended up with a lot of cams from trying to upgrade to 16 channels and the cheap ebay dvr doesn't seem to be able to handle it. How much will it cost for the 5mp 16ch version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
