Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CIB R401H60W500G8752 4CH Security Surveillance DVR Four CCD Bullet Cameras KIT. Eagleeyes Software (Electronics)
This system is a nice starter system - HOWEVER, the cameras are not that great. The DVR is nice, it can be viewed from a Mac via Safari or Firefox. I had the system up and running in about 10 minutes. I was able to connect it to my network, and setup port forwarding on my Apple Airport in about 10 more minutes. Before I knew it I had the apple iPad app and iPhone app up and running on viewing a camera looking at my back yard. Obviously the real work will require running cable, drilling holes and mounting cameras - I was in a hurry to try out the system to decided if I wanted to keep it before doing all that work. During my testing I noticed the following:
1) Mac support was good. I will post some photo's. It has a nice interface, and works well. 2) Video quality of the system was poor. I assume this is from the cameras as I hooked them directly to a TV and wasn't very impressed. 3) Blackberry app is just "OK" - it works, but not the greatest and required some configuration my employer does not allow on my blackberry 4) The native mac application "Video Viewer" saves video files in a format that only it understands - I cannot seem to open these files with quicktime or another media player. 5) The documentation isn't bad, but not great - no idea where I would go for help. 6) I realized when I sat down to plan my camera locations, I need more than 4. The software allows me to have multiple DVRs, which is nice - but I think I will need more than 4 channels. I would recommend planning your system before buying a 4 channel DVR. I realized I needed 4 cameras to cover the front and back of my house, not to mention the 2 interior cameras I wanted to install. 8 Channels is probably what I need. 7) Camera cables we good - there are cables on Amazon that are very thin which cause noise and bad pictures - the bundled cables were decent. |
