Two Analog Cameras to Onvif?

[heffneil]

Hello all. Is there a device that will take my analog cameras via coax and make them compatible with my onvif (hikvision) NVR?

I have two doorbells with cameras in them and I would like to get them connected and eliminate my DVR all together. It would be nearly impossible to replace the camera in the doorbell and get a wire to get it networked?

Hi Heffneil,

You may want to look at NVRs which also have CCTV / BNC coax support

They make analog to IP converters. I've never used any, but here's one on Newegg:
Grandstream GXV3500 3-in-1 IP video encoder and decoderand public announcement system combo device - Newegg.com

Thanks that is exactly what I am looking for!

The easiest and chiepest way is simply to use Hikvision DVR. NVR can connect to the streams from the DVR as they're IP cams.

that encoder would be doing exactly what your dvr does right now...might as well leave the dvr running as an encoder...

I purchased the grandstream device. It works pretty well. I am having problems with my analog camera but put another in its place to test. I set the IP address and connected to my NVR and it works well. I can't walk about the motion recording but I think it works well! Thanks for the advice it is very good!
