June 29, 201411 yr comment_387231 Why not just use 4 quad switchers instead of DVRs. Cameras into DVR.> Loop through onto switchers> 1 coax between switcher and TVs Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36953-diy-pc-based-dvr/#findComment-387231 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

June 29, 201411 yr comment_387239 Do you want HD images to the TV's? If so four 4 way HD-SDI DVR's would work better. I don't see why you need the huge DVR with the four little DVR's. Either one huge DVR with 4 programmable HDMI out's (If there's one available) or four 4 way DVR's with Ethernet to access each.

June 29, 201411 yr comment_387241 You could always use a tv modulator if you have aerial sockets by the TVs or if they are smart tvs could the network be used to view all cameras from one DVR?

June 29, 201411 yr comment_387334 Didn't see the HDSI . It's alright, I didn't see the "main monitor". Still not quite sure I understand the application of it really. Why not have a larger screen on 16way?

June 30, 201411 yr comment_387351 I suppose allot to do with location and perhaps being able to switch at each point, then still asbove one Dvr , a switch , or loop through monitors instead of tv's , lots of good ideas above! More detail perhaps needed Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36953-diy-pc-based-dvr/#findComment-387351 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
