Yeah, that's what I've been using. There are hybrid DVR's that will do both=
 analog and 1080P. It's a good way to upgrade existing analog systems. When=
 DVR goes out I replace it with a hybrid DVR and I'll change one camera for=
 them free of charge. As soon as they see the huge improvement in picture q=
uality they have me do more and eventually all of the existing cameras. =20

Yeah, I thought of that and would have probably done it but the distributor=

t this has got to be really first class looking. The camera is no more than=
 3 to 4 feet away from the doorway.

I've read about the capability of the IP cameras and I'm sure I'll find som=

 DVR and a few cameras and set it up on the work bench and play with it for=

Next slow period ( if there ever is one ) I'll give it a go.=20

On the other hand, it's a nice complaint to have, ..... that I'm too busy.

 Right now I'm working two $15K new construction residential jobs at the sa=

 boxes. Each house has a whole closet dedicated to the electronics in the h=

And I just quoted on a refurbished alarm system in a 110 year old Tudor sty=
le, 7 bedroom home. Just for the alarm upgrade I'm quoting $11.5K. It's got=
 over 70 openings and a system installed in the 80's. Have to expand the sy=
stem into more than the existing 16 zones and eliminate all the old Litton =
Terminus shock sensors on every opening. Got to install audio glass brake d=

 like a hotel. Beautiful old fashioned home.

The economy is coming back with a vengeance. ..... for me anyway.
