DVR to NVR replacement

[panthripu]

I am planning to replace me existing dvr with nvr. I came to know that it is possible using encoder but I dont know which model of nvr and encoder should I buy.
Our existing system is eneo make dvr with quad multiplexer.
DVR : DTR4216
Quad splitter:VCQ6067
Please suggest.

What is the purpose of using the encoder? if it is to keep the old cameras then use a hybrid NVR.

Thanks for reply. Is it possible to add ip camera in future if I use hybrid NVR? What about networking of hybrid NVR, is it possible? I have four standalone DVR. Can I connect all four hybrid NVR if I wish to see any camera?
If it is possible, can you suggest hybrid NVR for replacing my DVR?

Or give a try at the Blue Iris demo and see if it will pull in the streams from the old DVR? Then you can add as many IP as you like (well up to the BI limit LOL)...

How about a Hikvision 7300 series. It has the BNC inputs on the back of the unit so it can accept your old analog cameras. You can also add IP cameras using an external POE switch. Any analog ports you are not using you can disable so it will give you an extra IP channel.

Same as above with Dahua XVR's

I Appreciate your comments.
What about hybrid DVR ? I read some documents about it. Will it serve my purpose ? If yes , again requested to please suggest the suitable model.

 

[bigredfish]

That’s what Dahua calls their hybrids - XVR runs both analog and IP cameras

I dont know how well it will play with your cameras as I don’t what you have but it will run most any analog camera unless they’re so old that they need to be discarded anyway

They have many models and sizes. Here are the more cost effective ones

I am using following analog cameras.
Make:ENEO
Model:VKC-1416B
High resolution 1/4" Day/Night camera with 22x zoom and Ex-view CCD

Wow.....specs not so good for that cam when it comes to resolution (795 x 596 ), which matches the DVR anyway.
I'd be investing in new, higher-res/higher light sens. cameras and NVR if I could.
If you insist on re-using existing coax instead of pulling in CAT-6e or 6 Ethernet cable for IP cameras then @bigredfish knows where to point you regarding nice HD analog cams (HDCVI) and NVR.

 

[bigredfish]

The XVR I mentioned above will suit your needs for most any 2MP to 4MP cameras analog or IP

A step up from that will allow you to run

Agree with @TonyR I would scrap the cameras and dvr you have and start fresh. They are obsolete

 

[panthripu]

Appreciated your guidance.
I believe my existing camera is 1 MP or even less ?
The existing camera are connected to DVR with fiber optic cable and media converter on both sides ( camera & DVR ). Let us assume , i plan to replace the cameras also , can i still use the old cables (after all its additional cost as FO itself is costlier component of network).
What do you suggest ?
Plan will be to replace the DVR first and later the cameras in batches .

 

[bigredfish]

No idea on FO and converters. Major overkill fir your system.

 

[panthripu]

One 8 channel DVR with 8 camera connected. Is it possible to connect two monitor for live display , each will show 4 seperate cameras ?

 

[bigredfish]

HDMI splitter on the output, but its a single output so same view on both monitors.
