SVAT CV500-4CH-002 Web Ready 4 Channel H.264 DVR Security System with Smart Phone Access and 4 Indoor/Outdoor Hi-Res CCD Night Vision Surveillance Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I mainly purchased this system because it was web ready with the ability to view live feeds from your smart phone.Setup was easy and I was viewing live video feeds through my iPhone in no time.Keep in mind; I have an IT background so it may be more difficult for others to setup.

The 4 cameras have quality night vision and built-in motion detection.As with the previous review, I could not get the system to send me email alerts FROM my Gmail account because Gmail requires encrypted authentication.The CV500 DVR does not support encryption.I got around this by using my [...] email which doesn't require encryption.This is only for sending email; you can still specify any valid email address as the recipient.I send the alerts to my Gmail account which is tethered to my iPhone so the results are still what I wanted.

Additionally, unlike the previous review, I was able to setup a motion schedule.You can setup 5 different schedules, each customizable by the hour for every day of the week.You have three recording options:Full Record, Alarm Record, and No Record.The "Alarm Record" records when motion is detected.Each camera can be set on a different schedule.I have my internal cameras set to record motion during the hours I'm normally at work.The external cameras are set on motion recording 24/7.You can also setup a motion grid for each camera.For example, one of my exterior cameras points down the driveway and into the street.I specify only to detect motion in my driveway so it doesn't record every time someone walks by on the sidewalk.

I didn't setup the FTP option but it works exactly like the email option.When a camera is in "Alert Record" mode, it will send video to your FTP site when enabled.

All in all, I'm very happy with the product.It took some readying to figure out the more complicated features (motion grid, schedules, etc), but everything was explained very well in the manual.
