We need to replace our Swann DVR. Would the cameras hat work with the NVR8-7090 system work with any of the newer DVR's? If not what should we be looking for?

Thanks

Scott

Hi @sajay

Is this what the NVR looks like ? ( for do you have a DVR - analog coax cables )

It is a 16 port POE NVR (I used the term DVR) very similar to that one. The back says CONVR-B163MP. The Swann website gave me a manual for the NVR8-7090 but I'm sure it's just a generic manual that covers several models. I'm curious if it has similar camera requirements to many of the modern POE NVR's - would the cameras work with just about any of them?

Thanks for your response.

I suspect that is a Hikvision OEM PoE NVR.

The cameras should work with newer Hikvision OEM NVRs, and if running ONVIF you should be able to get the cameras to run on any NVR / VMS that supports ONVIF specs
