Hello, after searching a lot, i still need some help to decide which camera to use with DS-7108NI-SN/P.
My plan is to use 4 cameras to monitor my house: 3 on front (right, left and main door) and 1 on back (backyard). In the specification of the product, it tells that i can use 4 cameras with 2MP and 720p, is that right?
I'm thinking in buy the DS-7108NI-SN/P, because is cheap to import it to Brazil. But i'm kind of lost in choose the right camera for it. I woud be very grateful if someone help.

Correct, 7108NI-SN/P is limited to 2MP or 1080p only. I've been using 2132 and now 2135s. The cameras are 3MP and I set it to record at 2MP. Same if you get 4MP sets, you have to set it to 2MP/1080p mode.

Thank you for your reply.
So, if i buy a 4MP and 1080p camera, can i configure it to run in 720P and 2MP? I'm searching in eBay and i can't find any cameras that already are 720p with a good price plus shipping. The cheapest POE camera that i found from Hikvision is the DS-2CD3345-I (Hikvision DS-2CD3345-I 4MP EXIR Turret Dome IP IR IP66 Outdoor POE Camera 4mm | eBay).
Is there a cheaper camera from other brand that you know and that is compatible?

You can set it to record @ 1080p and 720p as you wish. It's all up to you. I want to say Dahua camera should work with this NVR, but I cannot guarantee this model:

DaHua IPC-HDW4431C-A POE Network Full HD 1080P 4MP IR Mini Dome IP CCTV Camera | eBay

I use another Dahua camera which has PTZ on the DS7108N/SN-P. It's was very hard to get working, but it worked out at the end. If you are not technical, I would stick with the same brand camera.
