Re: Do most DVR's hand both IP & Analog cameras?

["Doug" <not@xxxxxxxx>]

If you have a four port DVR with a single RJ-45 then it will have four
analogue camera inputs and no IP camera inputs, the RJ-45 is to connect the
DVR to the network to allow remote viewing of the system, not to accept
inputs from IP cameras.

I see. The DVR doesn't have 4 or 8 RJ45's since that is what a switch
is for.
Makes a lot of sense and I guess it keeps the cost down. Does anyone
have peference? IP or Analog?
