Hi @New DaddyMany threads here suggest that not all DVRs can connect easily with BI.
Which cheap model will connect with BI for sure?
My only goal is using the DVR as analog-to-IP converter, in order to connect a couple of analog doorbell cameras to BI.
I don't need any bells or whistles of high-end DVRs.
Yes, they are actually doorbell cameras from AIPhone.Hi @New Daddy
Do you already have the cameras? I ask, because there are a few CCTV standards that you want to check when looking for a DVR that supports any coax bnc analog camera you may already have.
Yes, I tried adding camera and then typing in the IP address.How are you trying to connect it to BI?
Are you select add camera and then typing in the IP address of the NVR along with username and password and then hitting find/inspect and then selecting a camera number?
Post screenshots of what comes up when you try the Find/Inspect.
But there is no list of which NVRs connect to BI - in general if it is ONVIF compliant then they should be able to come in, but it isn't always the case.
I did.Have you considered an analog-to-IP converter?
Hi @New DaddyYes, they are actually doorbell cameras from AIPhone.
I currently have a DVR from Zosi, but it fails to connect with BI.
These are the relevant specs from the specs sheet:Hi @New Daddy
Do you have particular models?
Ideally, you do want to check the spec sheet and see what the specs state before looking for a DVR.
