4 to 8 economical quad processor B/W

Nov 29, 2005 2 Replies

While my future plans are more robust (DVR quad with remote net access) for right now I need to find some economical 4 or 8 quad processors for B/W cameras with audio.



Looking for a economical B/W processor with 4 minimum and possible 8 inputs. Expandable 4's would be nice.



Price with the minimum features are the driving force for this right now. I just need a way to watch at least 4 of these cameras easily for now with out a lot of expense. I will add on and upgrade later even if this item(s) are obsoleted.



At a minimum it should be able:


1) Quad view, selectable between the 2 sets of four on an 8 input
2) Sequence thru input with adjustable dwell
2.1) with audio switching would be a boon, but I'll live with out for now for the right price.
2.2) CHEAP!

The following would be plus



3) Motion detection would a plus
4) Alarm output on motion
5) activate a vcr via IR on alarm/motion

Any thing in the $40-60 range would be great. Even if I had to get 2 for 8 inputs and get a cheap video switch or 2 modulators for now.


Links, models (NO froogle, google, or Ebay)


If you plan to replace it shortly look at Lorex. Its cheap, works ok, and will handle color too. Juts follow the instruction on the sticker on the unit.
