It depends on which video formats and resolution(s) your existing security system DVR supports. Our Viewtron BNC cameras are hybrid which means that they support multiple video formats and work with almost all DVRs. You can check the specification for each of our camera to verify the supported formats and resolutions. If you need help figuring out the right camera for your DVR, you can always email us your DVR's make and model and we will let you know the best options.

HD Camera Cable
One of the advantages of both AHD and TVI cameras is that they can use the same RG59 coax cable as traditional CCTV cameras and the cable runs can be just as long (max distance about 800 feet). Our RG59 Siamese cable options have been tested with AHD and TVI cameras. They are guaranteed 100% by CCTV Camera Pros to work effectively.
HD CCTV Video Over CAT5 Cable using Video Balun
In addition to RG59 coax cable, HD security cameras (AHD and TVI) can also be wired using CAT-5 / CAT-5e cable by using video baluns. Video baluns convert the UTP cable in CAT5 to BNC connections on the camera and DVR end of the cable run. You can learn more about
video baluns for HD security cameras here.
HD Camera DVRs
AHD and HD-TVI security cameras do require an HD surveillance DVR that is compatible. CCTV Camera Pros offers hybrid DVRs that work with AHD, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and standard definition analog cameras (CVBS). We highly recommend our Viewtron
hybrid DVRs. You can learn more about our Viewtron security camera DVRs here.
