The iDVR-PRO4M is a 4 channel hybrid HD security camera DVR that works with analog CCTV cameras and HD CCTV cameras (AHD and TVI). Each individual channel of the DVR can be configured for CCTV, AHD, and HD-TVI cameras. 720p and 1080p AHD and TVI cameras are supported. The iDVR-PRO4M can record at 30 frame per second (real time recording) on all channels and at any resolution (including full 1080p high definition).

Important Update!

The iDVR-PRO4M has been discontinued, however, you can still get all of the same iDVR-PRO features in our other iDVR-PRO HD CCTV DVRs here. If you are looking for another 4 channel model, please take a look at the iDVR-PRO4A.

Because this DVR is compatible with analog CCTV cameras and the latest HD cameras, it is a great choice for customers who have existing CCTV cameras and want to upgrade to HD. Customers can use their existing analog cameras on some channels and use the latest 1080p HD cameras on other channels. We expect the need to mix analog and HD technologies on surveillance systems for a long time, hence the invention of the hybrid iDVR-PRO. Please note that the iDVR-PRO is also a great choice for an HD-only system. There is no downside to the DVR supporting SD and HD cameras on all channels.

All iDVR-PRO surveillance DVRs include the best software applications to monitor and manage your system from iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, and Macintosh devices. The user interface that is used to manage the DVR directly using the included mouse or wireless remote control is extremely intuitive and easy to use.

These DVRs come with a 2 year warranty and lifetime USA based technical support which is provided directly from CCTV Camera Pros.

The robust features and sleek design make iDVR-PRO recorders the best choice for home, business, and government video surveillance applications.

Works with CCTV & HD Security Cameras

The iDVR-PRO4M is an SD / HD hybrid DVR that works with analog CCTV, AHD, and HD-TVI cameras. This means that traditional analog CCTV cameras and the latest high definition security cameras can be used. All video surveillance resolutions up to full 1080p are supported.

Here is how it works.

1. Originally, CCTV cameras supported CIF (352 x 240 pixels) and D1 resolution (704 x 480 pixels).
2. Then, 960H resolutions introduced to move towards the widescreen format of the latest monitors and TVs (16:9 aspect ratio). 960H is 960 x 480 pixel resolution.
3. In 2014, AHD cameras (analog high definition), also known as analog HD / HD CCTV, were introduced which supported HD 720p (1280 x 720) resolution.
4. In 2015, full HD 1080p resolution AHD cameras were introduced (1920 x 1080).
5. HD-TVI is another high definition CCTV technology that was introduced and evolved around the same time as AHD.
6. HD-TVI cameras are also available in 720p and 1080p resolutions.
7. All of these video formats (analog CCTV, AHD, TVI) work using the same RG59 coax cable to run video from the camera to the DVR. However, the video encoding is different between them.
8. Hybrid iDVR-PRO model DVRs works with all of these camera types. Users can also mix standard definition CCTV and high definition (AHD and TVI) on the same recorder (hybrid).
9. Each channel can be configured for a different camera type.
