Best high quality 4k analog system yet

[soulja]

Hi guys.

I installed a lot of IP cameras. A friend of mine has 5 analog cameras. The wires are already there from his old system.. he wants to stick with analog ones but he wants to have new ones.


I found those from Hikvision:
DS-2CE19U8T-(A)IT3Z
4K Ultra-Low Light Bullet Camera
• 8.29 Megapixel high-performance CMOS
• Ultra-low light
• 3840 × 2160 resolution
• Auto focus, 2.8 mm to 12 mm motorized vari-focal lens
• 120 dB true WDR, 3D DNR
• EXIR 2.0, smart IR, up to 80m IR distance

Can I use those with old analog cables?
Is 4K overkill for analog?
Any suggestions for a good DVR?

I know the main differences between analog and IP. The brain is the DVR etc. anything else I have to keep in mind when I do install analog now?

Im running Dahua HDCVI analog and have no problems. All cameras are wired via Cat5 back to the XVR using baluns. Not certain on HIK but seems like it would be the same.

If there is existing coax from the old system this would work too, I would think you'll be fine.

4K is not overkill for analog any more than IP. Dahua also has 4K CVI cameras that produce great images which I hope to upgrade a few to soon, but right now my XVR is limited to 1080P
