5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent functionality for the price! Great unit!, July 7, 2009

By	Michael Farias (Southern New England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this unit for a few weeks, and I've been experimenting with camera positions and lighting. This Security DVR has worked perfectly.
All features work, as advertised, and are well implemented.

PROS:
-Motion detection with pre-record (pre-time stamps motion event) works great. I really like the function which allows you to fast forward at 32x, and the unit slows right down to 1x right before a car or person walks on my property, then resumes FF when it leaves the frame. I can spend 20 minutes after work, and see every person or vehicle that has entered my property for the past 9 hours I've been at work. Very cool!
-I can access the unit from any computer in my house. The software included allows access to the DVR menu functions as well. Streaming video over my LAN has been glitch free and solid full motion. I haven't tried accessing the box away from home yet. I will update my review if there are any problems with that. (I doubt there will be. The firmware and software have been well de-bugged, for the most part)
CONS:
I only have a couple of gripes about the unit:
-The menu is a little hard to understand, and you have to experiment with certain menu functions to discover what they actually do.(This is obviously a translation issue.) Once you have figured out what does what,
the menu settings are easy to use, and well implemented.
-The compression used by the unit does degrade the resolution a bit, when streaming or recording. Not by much though. The streaming video has very little degradation, and the recorded video is a little worse, with some slight pixelation on the "Best" setting. I understand that this is a compromise between picture quality and disk space, however, I wish it had a better resolution recording option. Large disk drives are relatively cheap anyway. This may become an issue if you are trying to identify a face in the distance. We'll see . . .

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this Security DVR.
It is well built, and does pretty much everything I would want.
It would be nice to have the USB Flash Drive backup on this one,
but you have to move up to a more expensive model to get that functionality.
For the price, this DVR is an absolute BARGAIN! I've seen VERY similar Security DVRs for $180 and up. (sans drive)

I highly recommend this unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, March 24, 2009

By	Sunil M. Rambhajan "Do unto other as you want... (Trinidad) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought one of these babies with some doubt, reason being the price of the item. Having received the product, had no regrets of purchase. Unit is simple to use and very user friendly and video capture quality is very good.
