8 channel video encoder Hardware Recommendation

[ssa]

I have an old CCTV system where I installed a 16 channel Geovision card maybe 13 years ago. Along side it I have a much newer IP Camera system running BlueIris. I would like to retire the old GeoVision PC but would like to save the cameras. I have 16 BNC cables coming into my office. Some of those BNC runs are over 300' (I know I'm pushing it but they work). I would like to get those cameras into my PC running BlueIris. What video Encoder's do you recommend where I can assign a static IP to each analog camera signal? I don't mind using 2x8 or 4x4 channel device.

TY in advance!

I believe people in the past have said they are not cheap, and a quick look on Amazon showed they were exceeding $400 for a 4 unit device. I would consider an analog DVR at that point. Many of us here are using an analog DVR that feeds the stream to Blue Iris just fine. If you don't care about redundancy, then it becomes even cheaper as you do not put a hard drive in it. For probably less than $150 you could find that.
