8x Analogue + Up to 12 IP Cameras | Max 8MP Analog & Max 12MP IP
Introducing the IVSEC DVR8-5000, a powerful hybrid solution designed for users who want to preserve their existing coaxial infrastructure while embracing modern IP cameras. Enjoy the flexibility of a maximum of 8 analogue ports plus support for up to 12 IP channels via a network switch—packed into one DVR. Whether you have older Swann coax cameras or wish to incorporate advanced ONVIF-compatible 4K IP cameras, this device gives you the freedom to gradually upgrade without a total system overhaul. (max 12 channels in any combination: (Coax+IP) 8+4, 6+6, 4+8, etc.)
Do you have 8 existing older-style BNC Coax Cameras? 5 of them work and 3 don't? Well this is the solution → Upgrade to the DVR8-5000 and plug in your 5 working analogue cameras, then add IP cameras via a PoE switch to the system. Gradually, as each older camera stops working, replace its cable and camera while continuing to expand the IP side. In total, you can run up to 8 analogue cameras or up to 12 IP cameras, with a maximum of 12 cameras simultaneously!
For those Swann customers that have an older style SWDVR that want to keep their existing Swann BNC style cameras, this is the option. If you have a SWDVR-4480, 4580, 4880, 4685, 4680, 5580, 5680 then this recorder will support your existing cameras.
The IVSEC DVR8-5000 not only handles legacy AHD, CVI, TVI, D1, or CIF cameras (in all resolutions up to 8 MP), but also supports IP cams in all resolutions to 12 MP via a 64 Mbps incoming bandwidth. This capacity ensures you can integrate high-resolution cameras now—or in the future—without sacrificing video quality or performance. Save costs by reusing your existing equipment, and then add new IP cameras at your own pace. The recorder has the flexibility to adjust all settings, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, compression etc.
With advanced features like H.265/H.264 encoding, 4K Ultra HD output, and intelligent detection (model-dependent), you’ll have the latest security technology in one sleek recorder. Plus, the included 2 TB HDD offers ample recording storage, and you can upgrade to a 10 TB drive for truly extended capture times.
*** A PoE network switch is required for IP cameras, as it provides both power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Many customers already have IP cameras on their home network; simply connect them via the recorder’s Ethernet port. The recorder will scan the network and automatically add the cameras to its device list. For those needing additional capacity, we stock a range of PoE switches from 4 to 48 ports, ensuring a suitable option for every installation.


IVSEC is a trusted name in security solutions, offering robust hardware and intuitive software that’s easy to configure. Whether you’re a small business owner securing your storefront or a homeowner expanding your system, IVSEC products deliver reliability and performance at an attractive price point.
In addition to coax-based cameras, the IVSEC DVR8-5000 seamlessly works with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from a wide range of brands—like Dahua, Swann, Hikvision, IVSEC, VIP Vision, UNIARCH, and many others. If your camera supports the ONVIF standard, you can typically add it to the IVDVR8-5000 without fuss. This flexibility ensures you won’t be locked into a single vendor or forced to replace compatible cameras you already own. Some features are camera-based; however, viewing and recording are universally supported.
From Swann SWPRO/SWNHD cameras to popular third-party brands like Dahua, Hikvision, Bosch, Honeywell, Pelco, Vivotek, ACTi, and more—this hybrid DVR ensures you can integrate cameras from virtually any manufacturer supporting ONVIF or coax standards (AHD, CVI, TVI, D1). It’s an ideal solution for those who want to combine old and new technology without incurring the cost of a complete overhaul.
--> It is important to note some older Swann SWNHD network cameras may not function or require confirguration. (The following SWNHD-820, 821,830, 831, 840, 815, 816, 819 will not function easily and will require configuration).

FAQ QUESTIONS:
How Long will my order take?
Our order fulfillment process is very fast, one of the fastest in the industry. Orders placed before 3PM (Sydney Time) are dispatched immediately to start their journey via one of the above shipping methods.
Due to many variants in customer addresses, product sizes, times that couriers come and go from our premises, we will choose the best option for shipping your parcel. However, if you have any specific requirement please email or call us to discuss your needs.
There are "Humans" throughout the sales process, from website product management, picking, dispatch, long haul couriers to the delivery man knocking on your front door. So it is important that if something does not go according to plan you are understanding and reasonable when following us up, it is our intention to deliver to our promises.
How will you ship my order?
We use various methods of Carriers, these include Australia Post, Express Post, Direct Freight, Fastway Couriers, TNT and EMS - we can also use any courier of your choice.
It is very simple, most items are sent via Australia Post - this covers every address in Australia including PO BOXES. We place your items into a carton, label it and take it to the post office.
We tend to prefer TNT or Direct Freight when delivering to a business address and AusPost for home addresses, only because the parcel is taken to the local Post Office if you are not home and it makes it easier for collection at the end of the day.
Can I Pick up / Collect?
The short answer is "most of the time", due to a massive product range we may not have the item available in our Sydney branch. It is important before coming to collect that you call first to confirm the item is available for sale.
What if I am not home?
If you are not at home when the Carrier tries to deliver your parcel, a calling card will be left and you will need to either go to the Post Office to collect or call the courier company to make other arrangements.
Carriers operate 9am-5pm, Business Days (Monday to Friday) - no one has the power to make any carrier deliver at any particular time during the day. If you use tracking supplied to you via our automated system, this will give you an idea of where your parcel is in the delivery process. The carriers simply say your parcel will be delivered between 9am and 5pm therefore we cannot be more specific than that.
Free Shipping - where applicable.
We offer Free Shipping on some products, this has been factored into our pricing structure. Not all products are free due to size/weight or other factors outside our control. To find out the cost of shipping, simply add products to your shopping cart and the shipping charge will be displayed. For overseas customers, you will need to register and create an address, the shopping cart will then update the shipping charge.
Free Shipping only applies only to shipping locations within Australia
Orders outside of Australia will need to be quoted before you purchase or system generated once you have registered.
