Replacement camera for QC8016 NVR

[vipulp]

Hello everyone,

New member (first time posting).

I have a QC8016 NVR Amazon.com : Q-See QC8016-1 Completely Digital 16 Channel Network Video Recorder with POE Solution and Pre-installed 1TB Hard Drive (Black) : Nvr Q See : Camera & Photo . I learned that Q-See has ceased operations beginning Jan 2021. I need to buy replacement cameras since my cameras have died.

How can I identify which cameras are compatible with QC8016?

An extended question is - Should I consider replacing the NVR given the company is out of business?

HI @vipulp

Do you have a picture and model info of the Camera that died?

Off hand the front of the NVR suggests to me it is a Dahua OEM NVR.. the back pictures from the Amazon link have both BNC and PoE ports - so that confuses me as I don't recall seeing that back image..

Hi Mat,

I believe I have the QCN7001B and QCN8004B. The QCN7001B went bad.

You said cameras as in multiple? Did all of them stop? It's probably the remote viewing that has stopped. All the equipment should still work, you just lost remote viewing.

Hello All, This post is about to generate 1000's of views. Many people are about to find out their Q-See systems will stop P2P sharing and will not be able to remote view because the vendor is going out of business tomorrow. Q-See has recommended to use remote access via DMZ and enable DHCP...

I had 4 devices, 2 went bad. (I dont use remote viewiing, just viewing on the NVR itesf).

The cameras wont light up upon boot. Another camera at the same endpoint works.

Depends on your budget if you want to add more cameras or replace the NVR. Does another camera work in the same port? If so camera if not NVR. You may want to check ebay for cameras. But start with one to see if it works or overloading NVR.

That is precisely the question (I worded it badly to begin with), What are the replacement camera I should target that will be compatible with QC IP NVR

 

[avspin]

You could get the same ones on ebay pretty cheap but they must be factory reset. But as mentioned above it appears it's a Dahua NVR. I used Dahua cameras on my Q-See NVR without any issues.

HI Avspin, what are the compatible Dahua cameras that have worked for you? I am trying to find a place where I can check compatibility so that I can order the right one.

I have used and still using HFW1435S-W-S & 5442 series turret cameras

Thanks Avspin

Hi Mat,

HI @vipulp

Look like Dahua OEM cameras, see if Andy EmpireTecAndy has a replacement.

Remember to match the resolution that the NVR can handle with the camera

Also, iirc Qsee config was slightly different than standard Dahua OEM .. web server iirc on port 85 or something like that so

Expect to need to sysnc: IP address, ports, user/password, substream info
