    Hybrid analogue and wifi/wlan dvr

    Hi.  I currently have an old 960h analogue cctv system. There's a couple of things I'm looking to do but currently can't find a hybrid dvr capable. I want to keep the 4x bnc cable runs I already have and upgrade the cameras to tvi or ahd cameras so need a dvr which will allow this. I then...

    Hi-Lo dimming of outside LED lighting
