How to Select a Replacement Security Camera for an Existing DVR System

In this comprehensive video guide, Mike from CCTV Camera Pros walks you through the process of finding the perfect replacement security camera for your existing DVR security system. Whether you need to replace a faulty camera, expand, or upgrade your current security camera setup, this video has got you covered.

First, Mike explains how to determine whether you have a network IP camera system or a BNC coax security camera system by examining the connector that links your camera to your DVR. If it's a round BNC connector plug, it's a coax BNC security camera, and if is a RJ-45 connector with network cable, it is a network IP camera.

For those with a network IP camera system, Mike emphasizes the importance of checking if your existing DVR (or NVR) is ONVIF compliant. ONVIF is an open protocol that ensures interoperability between cameras and recorders from different manufacturers. If your NVR is ONVIF compliant, you can use Viewtron IP cameras with your existing security system. https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/viewtr...

If your NVR is not ONVIF compliant, Mike recommends replacing it with a Viewtron NVR, which is ONVIF compliant and compatible with a wide range of IP cameras. Viewtron NVRs are available in 8 channel, 16 channel, 32 channel, 64 channel, and 128 channel models. https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Cam...

Next, Mike discusses the essential factors to consider when choosing a replacement camera for a BNC coax security camera system. He explains the various video formats and resolutions, including CVBS (analog CCTV), AHD, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and HD-SDI. Viewtron offers hybrid BNC cameras that support multiple video formats and resolutions, making them a versatile choice for most systems. You can use Viewtron BNC cameras for all CCTV video formats except for HD-SDI. You can find Viewtron BNC cameras on this page. https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/bnc-se...

Mike also touches on the importance of cable compatibility, particularly when upgrading to higher-resolution cameras. Older, pre-made BNC cables may not support 4K resolution, so it's crucial to consider this when planning your upgrade.

Throughout the video, Mike offers helpful tips and advice, such as how to find the make and model of your existing DVR or NVR and how to search for product specifications online. He also introduces Viewtron's latest AI security cameras, which offer advanced features like human object detection, facial recognition, and license plate recognition.

By providing the make and model numbers of your current DVR and cameras, they can help guide you in the right direction. You can reach Mike via email at [email protected].
