Needing a DVR or NVR?

[titang9]

Greetings, I'm a beginner concerning cameras.
I need a compatible NVR or DVR for these 2 (two) DAHUA cameras.
XS-4MPVFIP
4MP (Max 4MP@20fps), 4 megapixel scan, H.264 High Profile, Metal (IP66)
(IK10), Up to 150ft / Low lux, DNR/Smart IR/ICR/WDR, POE / 2.8~12mm

They are connected by an ETHERNET cable to a TP-LINK (TL-SF 1008P).
They were using a hard drive to record24/7.

Any recommendations? or if I need to change anything??

If they are connected via ethernet, then you need an NVR

I can’t be sure about compatibility as I don’t know how old those cameras are, but for just 2-4 midrange cameras, Dahua makes a Lite series that are fine

The (burned) DVR or NVR was a XVR1008, it doesn't say anything else.
The system was installed two years ago

That is a hybrid XVR , it will record both analog and IP cameras. I can’t tell without seeing the cables on the cameras which they are.

So you should look at these XVR choices

Thanks,
Camera cables are ETHERNET, they had sound.
The coaxial connections were never used.

Ok, if you plan to stay with all IP cameras, look at the Lite and Pro series NVR’s. If more than 4 cameras, I’d recommend the Pro series
