I did a few CVI installs a couple of years back, a few SDI after that but past 18 months all TVI Hik kit

 

Thanks all,

I went for Hik HQHI 8 channels in the end, it seems a solid DVR. I believe it also supports 2 x IP but not sure if these are in addition to the 8 x BNC?

Yes it supports the IP cameras in addition to the turbo/analogue channels.  if/when you want more IP channels then you turn one analogue channel off to get 1 extra IP channel.

At the Hikvision roadshow they said the new Turbo 3.0 does 3MP and soon to have 5MP and fisheye too!  Existing recorders also support smart features and ANPR for free!

On Turbo 1.0 product make sure you buy the HQHI model.  On Turbo 3.0, you'll probably want the HUHI models

 

HD-TVI is an open standard so you're not limited to one manufacturer should the worst happen!
