Can DVRs like Dahua DVR1604HF simultaneously stream 16 analog cameras via RTSP/H.264?

[iScape]

Hi,

Is it feasible to expect that DVRs like Dahua DVR1604HF-A-E are powerful enough to simultaneously stream 16 analog cameras in h.264 via RTSP? At the same time DVR must record video to HDD.


Background:
I have 16 channel DVR with analog cameras (700tvl) attached to it. It records video to HDD all the time.
I would like to connect it some video surveillance software system like iSpy, for example, that can get video/audio from RTSP stream.
I'm trying to understand if I can avoid buying expensive analog->IP encoders (> $50/channel).

Pls, don't suggest to move to IP as it's not yet an option

Thank you!

If this Dahua DVR works similarly to the ONVIF support in Hikvsion NVRs you may be able to find out from the 'Receivers' page of the Windows open-source tool ONVIF Device Manager from sourceforge.net

tnx for the idea, but it doesn't look like it supports ONVIF.
