There. I took that non-sequitor off the table so you can focus on a serious answer (if there are any).
I can hear the collective groaning of a hundred would-be smart-asses, as you dangle, and then devour, the only decent quip to be had around here for days... Well done!
I'm curious why someone would want both IP and HDCVI (i chose) in the same analog-compatible box.
I am flush with both first-hand data and experience in these matters, having spent over 9 hundo, just minutes ago on preordering my tribrid. The reason is simple, I have a handful of IP cams. I have a handful of analog cams used thru encoders. I just bought a handful of HD-CVI cams. So the problem is, you guessed it, I only have two hands! (No Anthony Gatto quips, please!)
Yes its true to some degree, I got them because I can. But also I'm getting them because my server seems like its bogging down with the fourteen server side motion detection channels on it right now. I'm using the server also as the client to feed a two screen 'wall' and its a bit jumpy to say the least. I know at least a dozen simple things I could do to improve the performance dramatically, but my doctor has a fool for a patient... And this is way more fun right? And a 2MP 1080P 30 fps PTZ with Integrated IR for $75?
So short answer, someone who has already upgraded to hi-def may want to trigrade if the cost of new cameras is compelling or the technology has some benefit.
