Yes, Invid Tech.  I seem to recall you and Jim both talking about them,
and one of you said you had been buying them from non-traditional
sources like Zoro or Amazon.

Were you able to get your HikVision IP cameras to work with the Invid
hybrid DVRs?

I have a brand new (old stock) small HikVision NVR I was going to use on
the house and ditch the low (used to be considered high) res analog
stuff, but that was about the time the whole spyware and US ban broke in
the news.  I don't have an issue ditching the NVR, but I'd like to use
the cameras I had for it.  HikVision is still available if you know
where to look.  I just don't really trust it.

I used Digital Watchdog for a while, but it seemed like every system had
to be firmware updated to keep it from crashing regularly.  The
price/feature/specs ratios seemed to be pretty good otherwise.
