Greetings all. I have this Annke system that I purchased 4 years ago, but has just been sitting with the cameras that came with it. While it came with 4 wired cams, I believe it can hold up to 8. I'd like to get some IP cameras, but I have no idea which cameras might work for this thing. I'm sure there's some off brand cams or other brand cams that I can use, but I don't know what to search for to compare them. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

It is best to match brand of NVR and cameras to ensure full functionality.

That included OEM. Hikvision makes Annke, so anything made by Hikvision.

Other cameras may work, but it might just be the video feed and no AI or motion settings from the camera.

At a bare minimum, make sure the cameras are ONVIF compliant. If they aren't they may not work.

Further, you need to know the MP capacity of the NVR - if it is only rated for 4MP cameras, then you can't get anything higher.

It would be good to post the NVR model number.

Should be a label somewhere on the NVR.

Thats an entry level Analog/BNC system/recorder (CVBS). I dont see anything in the amazon specs to indicate it can even run IP cameras...
