My 16-camera DVR is rated D1 max. Instead of upgrading everything now I prefer my new purchases are better, but will this HD-SDI work with my system?

Yes, the camera has two video connection, the yellow is standard video and green is H-D video or SDI.

This camera has two outputs a composite one that will work with your current DVR and an SDI one that will require a new DVR, or an SDI to HDMI converter to view in HD
1255643
No. That would be an analog system and these are digital. You could use the NTSC test output perhaps if you are thinking of upgrading to HD-SDI in the future, but the quality is not that great.

I use a portable hard drive (segate) with my setup and works fine. This way you only need one power source ( for the DVR.

It does do the following: Selectable: NTSC: D1(704 x 480); HD1(704 x 240); CIF (352 x 240) / PAL: D1(704 x 576); HD1(704 x 288); CIF (352 x 288 So you have your choice of D1 or CIF. D1 uses the most disk space and is required in some situations that have legal ramifications. I have been using Zmodo to many people's unbelief but never had a problem. Here is the full specs on the machine you are looking at: http://www.zmodo.com/4ch-h-264-full-d1-dvr-500gb-hdd-with-4-cmos-480tvl-ir-outdoor-security-cameras-with-11-leds.html So yes it is D1 or CIF your choice. Set up a field array where it only records if something moves in the zone. Too much and you run out of disk space or start overwriting your earlier recordings.

Here is a link to the 64 bit drivers.http://www.digibuyitnow.com/eBay_download/20154-DVR-driver-64bits.zip

Just make sure that your DVR has a eSATA hook up on it as well as a USB. On almost all of the DVR's I've seen or used. The eSATA hook up works best and fastest. The USB is OK but a lot of the newer dvr's must be hooked up by the eSATA only. And will only work by that particular hook up. So make sure yours have it. As for space on your dvr, almost any size will do, as you are adding an entire 2 tb . Unless you do an extraordinary large amount of recording all in HD. The 2tb will work fine with any size dvr you buy. But some have said that the 2tb slows the dvr playback down and makes it skip. I myself have not yet had this problem. Hope this answers some of your questions. Happy New Year. And enjoy your movie watching.

Looks like there should be no issue. Cameras are generally universal and I haven't run into any DVR's that won't accept any particular cameras.

The Majority brands of Computer 3.5'' SATA Hard Drives are compatible with this 16 chan DVR, Im using a Seagate SATA 1.5Tb Hard drive in Mine. (Works good). The DVR instructions state the maximum Hard Drive to use is 2TB.But you Can also use smaller hard drive with it (like 500 Gb etc).

I am not familiar with that type of camera but you should be able to connect any BNC/RCA/Coaxial camera to this card without any issue. I currently use Sony 1/3" Varifocal Lense Dome Cameras. I have also connected other generic cameras without issue. As far as IP (network) cameras go, I'm not 100% sure, but you should be able to connect brands other than Geovision. These DVR cards are great. I have two of them, one at two different stores, and they have been flawless. The DVR Servers the cards are installed in are configured with: Intel Core i3 CPU Crucial 8gb DDR3 RAM Gigabyte Motherboard 4 Western Digital Black 2tb SATA Hard Drives nVidia Geforce 8400 1gb PCIe Video Card Antec One Hundred Case Antec 650w Power Supply Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64bit OS and they work great. The software for these cards is fantastic. It is, by far, the best software I have used for DVR systems. These cards are more costly than other DVR cards but you get what you pay for. You can do 30fps for up to 16 cameras. The maximum resolution for each camera, if I'm remembering correctly, is 720x480 for NTSC. NOTE: In the manual and on the website, and this goes for every DVR I have every built and I'm not sure why, Geovision says that this card is only compatible with Intel CPUs, Intel chipset motherboards, and nVidia GPU video cards... no AMD or ATI for some reason... I have always been curious but have never had the time to test this in a live environment and I wouldn't risk it just to save a little bit of money. I highly recommend this DVR card.

Yes see my listing for the 2TB DVR Expander from Western Digital - but note that it is only compatible with certain DVRs. See my other listings as well.

I would guess the answer is NO... Samsung has an 800 number ... you should call them for an accurate answer ... I called them with other questions about my SDE 3004N 4 DVR. They are pretty helpful. William Moran

Yes, this camera is compatible with the DVR you purchased. According to the specs of your DVR, it will be able to display the camera's 720p image @ 30 fps.

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

I called WD in 2014 when my old expander died and was told that the 2TB version wouldn't work with my Scientific Atlanta DVR model 8300.This was due to a limitation on the DVR, not the expander. So I bought the 1TB and am still happy.

I've not used this for HD-SDI but I have used this cable to handle HD Cable Services and Over the Air(HD) signals inside our house with no issues for me. I've also used it as the internal for a Cable Modem Internet connection as well.

Most likely not. Your security camera is probably composite video, not SDI which is what this device uses. Try searching for an av balun.

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

Yes...I purchased it last Nov. Assuming you have a DVR that has an eSATA connection and not one of the older models then you simply follow the steps to expand the storage. It worked great and now we don't have to worry about having to delete stuff prior to recording.
