Sibell coax recorders — 5 models
Choosing a Sibell coax recorder
Penta-brid means it takes almost anything
These DVRs accept AHD, TVI, CVI and CVBS over coax, plus IP cameras over the network. That combination is the reason to choose one. You can keep working analogue cameras on the cable that already exists, upgrade the ones that matter to 8MP over the same run, and add IP cameras where new cable is easy — all recording to one box, with one interface and one set of playback.
Sizing
Five models run from 4 to 32 channels. The mini 1U 4-channel units suit a house or a small retail unit. The 8- and 16-channel models cover most small commercial sites. The 32-channel 2U model takes up to 8 drives for longer retention or higher channel counts. As with NVRs, count the cameras you expect to have rather than the ones you are fitting now.
Resolution and compression
Four of the five record at 4K; one records 1080P and suits a straightforward replacement of an older analogue system where the cameras are not changing. H.265+ models cut the storage a given retention period needs, which matters more as channel count and resolution go up. Check the per-channel recording resolution in the datasheet — a recorder rated 4K does not always record every channel at 4K simultaneously.
Where a coax recorder is the wrong answer
If there is no existing coax and no reason to keep analogue cameras, an NVR and IP cameras give you PoE on one cable, easier expansion and simpler fault-finding. Coax recorders are for sites with cable worth reusing or cameras worth keeping.
Guidance for planning and comparison. Confirm exact specifications, mounting requirements and compatibility in each model’s datasheet before ordering.
