Cameras for my Genie NVR8

[Insum]

Hello, I have an old Genie NVR8 (this one) and I would like some help in finding some cheap cameras that will work for it. I have no idea where to start as I am a complete noob when it comes to IP cameras, I haven't a clue where to start with compatibility and everything like that.

Recently I bought one of those cheap PTZ cameras on eBAY that you connect to your mobile phone and discovered that I couldn't connect that to the NVR so I sent it back but I can't find a camera on eBay that doesn't look like it will be another one of those same mobile phone jobs. I have an old Panasonic BL-C131 IP camera set up and running on it but id like some outdoor wifi cameras with night vision too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome @Insum

From the link you provided:
Genie 8 Channel Network Video Recorder, 1TB Storage
H.264 / MPEG-4 / MJPEG Video Steaming
..
Compatible with Most Major Brands of IP Cameras


So I would guess you need a IP camera that can stream H.264 video using rtsp ( hard to know for certain as I do not see rtsp listed... )

I'd look to try a Hikvision OEM or Dahua OEM camera that is 2MP supporting rtsp H.264 and ONVIF.
