Thanks, Auntie!

I went and looked at their stuff. Thanks for replying.

The problem with dashcam/backup cams, etc. is their limited focal lengths. I don’t need something that’ll capture video at feet away. I need to be able to capture video of subjects as much as 1/4 to 1/2 mile away.

There aren’t many CCTV units that come with cameras with that capability. I don’t know of any, off the top of my head.

I need to start with a DVR like theirs, maybe. But I’ve got to be able to hang cameras off of it that have a zoom/stability capability way, WAY beyond the typical camera designed for a CCTV system.

Thus, the original question...if there’s a way to hook non-proprietary cameras onto an existing DVR. I kind of think I’m going to have to re-work various wiring/connectors and even then I don’t know if it’ll work.

Thanks for answering!

C
