rated 3 out of 5 Does what's advertised.
by Mike Lee , 2009-11-07


Used as a nanny cam. Instructions sucked, which is unfortunate, because it had a lot of neat features. Play around with it and you'll get the hang of it. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the instructions, and I'm also having problems getting color to work well...



rated 4 out of 5 Excellent device

Good for monitoring and recording videos for 24h with grate features like motion detection etc.



rated 4 out of 5 Decent DVR, but you'll want IT/networking aptitude

Put 3 of these cards into two dedicated Windows XP boxes (one Home, one Pro). It takes some willingness on your part to learn - port forwarding, etc. Also, in my version of the manual, they only referenced 3 of the 4 ports that needed to be forwarded. Once you see what ports the software is trying to open, you'll see what you need to do. You can also change the ports if you like. I run two servers on the same network just by assigning different ports.

I believe you can only run the server side on XP (haven't tried anything else), but I've gotten the client side (WebCam, Remote Playback) to work on XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Video is stored as MPEG4 based AVI files, playable in VLC and Windows Media Player. A 160 GB can hold a couple months of recordings, at least for me, when set to record only when sensing motion.

Picture quality is ok (also dependent on the camera, of course).

A good value, in my opinion.



rated 4 out of 5 It does the job

Was looking for something modestly priced mainly to see the front of my house from my basement office. Setup was easy and it seems to work. The only drawbacks are that you can't hide the window from the taskbar, relocate the window (it's locked in the upper corner of the screen), and my screen won't "sleep" when the dvr program is running.



rated 1 out of 5 proprietary, not worth the $$

Not compatible with any OS but WinXP -OR- any video capture software but the junky software that came with it. Do yourself a favor, find the video capture software you like (like blueiris) and get a video capture card with widely available drivers to go with it. If you are not technical, buy the fully integrated DVR system.
