Each camera has its own analog connection wire. I am looking for a dvr box that I can connect to a home server and run something like Shinobi. I currently have this dvr box https://ellipsesecurity.com/product/hdtvi08b-tru-view-hd-tvi-8-channel-hd-security-dvr/ , but i don’t think it can automatically forward video to a home server
I am inclined to say yes I need a dvr box because I need to connect each wire to something, right?
You can buy DVR capture cards for pc.
