Ip And Analog Mix And Match


quasar

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to "add" an IP camera to the existing DVR system?

eg a DVR client software to view LAN/WAN all cameras at the same time including few IP additions?

 

Budget range not hi end stuff  :-

Haven't bought one yet 

Any cheap D1  4/8CH D1 DVR and 1 or 2  IP cameras just to test the idea of IP and analog mix

Don't have any specific requirements, could be even 2nd hand

Wanna play with a few things in my garage.

Autodidacticism  :hmm:

 

Never really done CCTV

there are hybrid machines available but IP tends to be a higher end offering. Your 'cheap' word is what bothers me cos nothing 'good' is 'cheap'


Those cameras you sell on warehouse!

Not IP though, im only currently looking at supplying 960h and hd-sdi

I think those cameras you are playing with look quite tidy for the money. Considerably more quality looking than those system q budget cameras.

I don't mean hybrid,

 

A standard system, a standard DVR  + IP camera added in future

Is there a generic client software/iphone app I could use to 'merge signals' from a DVR (any or specific) + an IP camera (any or specific)

 

 

PS. A cheap DVR would be any Chinese tat <£800 for 8CH DVR.

xvision/alien/genie etc all come from the same factory just re branded I guess

C'mon it's meant to test some ideas not to protect George Alexander Louis home

sorry assumed trade area. anyway

 

if you want the cam to be recorded by the drv you are talking hybrid machines.

However if all you want to do is show live images on a mobile then you can use any of the available apps that supports your dvr and an ip camera already supported. Axis is supported by everyone, onvif is supposed to be a standard but is hit and miss on the chinese stuff.

I thought it was trade forum?

 

ah, i was playing careful then sorry

Will a mobile app/PC app show a quad view incl IP camera

or II'd need to switch between a DVR and IP and view one ot the other at the time?

depends on the app, there are apps that support jpg grabs of a lot of dvrs and ip cams together.

Many of the free CMS softwares supplied today with DVRs will support DVR and IP camera, while some also have apps that can handle both. Iirc, Adata DVRs from Dahua have this function and are cheap but double check before buying, not all their DVRs are Dahua afaik.

Btw: Xvision/Alien/Genie all come from different factories so will have different functions and features, not sure if any of these offer what you are looking for.

I want to play with it and test how the whole CCTV thing works.

I'd like to understand IP, DDNS, apps, LAN, WAN, D1, 960H, HD,  WDR and and all other abbreviations

 

Sort of hobby

 

My garage, my garden, non commercial application

I've got 50m coax, 30m cat5, an old 480TVL camera and two brackets to start with :-

Tbh your starting at the wrong end, you're looking at how it's done when why its done is the more important question. Believe me, understand the why and the answers to the above will make a lot more sense, in other words, I can explain any of the above (as can many on here) but it is how and why they are applicable when trying to present a solution to a problem is paramount.

I'd share that view too

Can you elaborate further on solution to a problem, please.

 

We are talking typical scenario: driveway, garage, shop, warehouse, vandals, thieves

not industrial espionage, casinos, banks, nuclear power plants, terrorists, drons
