Evening All,

I have 4 analogue coax cameras which I wish to connect to a new DVR (the old DVR died)
These cameras are hikvision bullets. I have 2 reolink POE cameras that I wish to connect to the same DVR.
Question is is there such a DVR which allows both types to connect too?
Basically I am wanting to use all 6 cameras on the same DVR.

Cheers in advance
J

Try to find a tribrid or pentabrid DVR -- you might need an additional POE switch for the IP ones though. Dahua comes to mind, but check compatibility online for reolink IP cameras and dahua DVRs first -- you'll also want to know about VLANs so you can lock the IP ones down properly if you do indeed need an additional switch to interface with the IP cameras (as you'll be using the one port for IP cameras and traffic for viewing)

I believe Dahua do or at least used to do one.

Thanks all for the replies thus far. Will look into Dahua and see what I can find
