Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I chose this Q-See QSNDVR4R for 2 reasons 1) it has a network jack for internet connectivity/monitoring 2) price.It works most of the time but has some serious shortcomings.
The software to monitor over the internet is terrible.You are severely limited as to what you can do when playing back events and I've found that the software will actually crash (the DVR!) if you are unlucky enough like I have been with it.It will also allow only one machine to connect and so if you leave it connected from one machine and then need to get to it from another you are out of luck as there is no way to disconnect the first machine remotely.Occasionally when you disconnect properly it does not exit cleanly and then you need to reboot the unit to get back into it.There is also not a graceful way to shut down the unit so you just have to pull the plug and hope your data does not get corrupted
Running in 24x7 record mode it works like a champ, and seems like this is what it was really designed to do.However, if you want it to monitor motion-triggered events and then play that over the internet (or your local network) it really doesn't work well, and sometimes not at all.It has no means of contacting you (via email or text message, for example, when it sees motion where its shouldn't be), which would be nice, and you have to use the proprietary software instead of a web browser which would really make it more versatile when you aren't at a machine where you have the special software loaded (a friends house or work, perhaps).
Unless you are in the market for a bargain basement unit that you don't plan on actually needing to monitor very often remotely I would look elsewhere.This *is* a cheap unit and clearly a case of "you get what you pay for".I'll be selling mine for cheap and will do some more research on a better unit for my replacement purchase.
