I know there is the big CCTV thread - but as I don't really know what the hell I am doing, it is bringing up more confusion than help over what i *think* is a simple DVR (maybe?) swap.
I have a cheapo 4k chinese camera system. The hardware was working very well, but now something has happened and all the cameras are black. I have tried to go through the settings to try and find a different encoder that would work, but alas, I can't.
Although the hardware was working perfectly, the app for mobile and PC absolutely sucked and I could never figure out how to get it onto any of the other common camera apps like Ispy etc. The IP that the camera throws out just goes to the app that they want you to use and it is terrible.
So I was thinking that I could just find a new DVR or NVR (I am not really sure of the difference as I thought NVR was to do with Networking, but it seems some DVRs also can do the same????)
So. I currently have 4 cameras - I believe they're these ones: https://www.electriq.co.uk/p/tlk4-8402tb/electriq-tlk48402tb
They have 'BNC' connectors apparently.
Can anyone help me with a new DVR thingymajig that would allow me to plug these cameras in and use them with decent mobile and PC apps?
