quasar Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 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?

quasar Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 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.

james.wilson Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 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 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Luxrite do a hybrid HD-SDi/analogue unit that looks useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasar Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 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. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

digitalwitness Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 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.
