NVR Recommendation

[nlagaros]

I am very new to video surveillance. I have a 10 Hikvision 2032 cameras active at 3MP and am pleased with the quality. I was originally using PC based software to record, but quickly found out that it could not handle all of the cameras (machine is pretty old). I'd like to go the HVR route and am looking for recommendations. I would like to find a reasonably high quality NVR that can handle up to 14 cameras running at 3MP. I already have the cameras on a POE switch so that is not important.

Thanks!

Take a look at the HikVision DS-7616NI-E2/16P.

It looks decent, but not clear to me if it will support recording all cameras at 3MP.

Yes, it supports 3MP on all 16 channels. Just make sure you size your hard drives based on your storage requirements.

Remember to look and see how many ports are poe. On that nvr only 8 ports are poe.

I don't need the POE ports - I have all cams on POE switches already. I just want something that is powerful and will last a while.
