I have a DVR that is on its way out and will need to replace it. All cameras at the site are analog and I would like to upgrade to HD cameras down the line, but do not have time to do so right now. With that in mind, I would like to install a DVR that can handle current cameras and upgrades over time to either HD over coax/bnc like is already routed in the building or IP cameras. My basic question is this - how do I know that the cameras I currently have will work with a new DVR of a different brand? I know some DVRs will only work with their branded cameras, even if it is the same type of connector. Most DVRs seem to only work with their own specific app as well for remote viewing.
A general answer would be great, but if it isn't that easy, the DVR I am looking at using is the one linked below. I currently have a Eyemax DVST PST960H-16. I would love to get this DVR from somewhere other than this website, but can't seem to find it with the exact same specs. I want 32 channels in order to add more than the 16 we currently have, 1080, and all three input types.
