Samsung Dvrs

Looks like I was almost caught with my pants down with this kit:

I assumed it was IP/ethernet but on closer inspection it appears that its simply a regular camera/DVR combination that uses Cat5e cable and RJ45 plugs (picture and power are all sent down the same cable) rather than the conventional RG59 and BNC connectors

Each to their own but i wouldnt buy anything serious on ebay. I do use it to off load rubbish though.

Ahh it`s like the old Panasonic stuff.

You can mess about and BNC it (Had to swap the HDD unit but keep the cams )???) a few yrs back)), but not for a new install.

Yeah I was thinking it may be possible to "hack" it so a regular camera could be connected via BNC but I reckon I`ll have a look at other tackle instead

I wouldnt purchase anything used from ebay but if its new and its the model I`m after I`ll most likely take the plunge

Oh yeah, that trade only site.

Sorry I thought we were in the trade area.

Which ever you go for aslong as your happy with it that's the main thing . Rather than getting something that works but is a pain to operate.

Thats the tricky part - as i have never operated any of the DVRs discussed I have no idea as to how hard or easy to use they are which is why I was hoping someone here could vouch for them

They are easy enough to use, menu driven.
