Q-See QT vs. QC? Mobile apps.

I've had 2-3 different camera/DVR systems in homes over the years. I currently have an older Q-See 8 channel with D1 quality. It is a DT model and I love everything about it, except I want to upgrade to IP/POE and 3MP quality.

The best thing I like about the DT model is the Q-See DT View mobile app for the iPhone. 99% of my viewing and playback is on an iPhone, since I travel a lot. This is a residential system. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a better mobile app that integrates both real-time and playback into the same app.

I considered switching to another Q-See NVR with 3MP capability, but it is a QC model. Does anyone know why Q-See has two lines (QT and QC) and why the mobile apps for QC (the higher end models) are crap? It is really unfortunate. It looks like the best I could do is a QT848 with 1080p (not 3MP) and 8 cameras if I want to still be able to use their DT View mobile app. Otherwise, I need to switch to a less than desirable mobile app. The nice thing about QT View is it can display 8 cameras and recorded search/playback is a breeze.

Is there another manufacture with a better mobile app that I am missing? There are a lot of good IP mobile apps, but they don't necessarily interface to the NVR playback.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dahua nvr/cameras, in which you would use gdmss+ or for you it would be Idmss+. My opinion, not a better mobile app out there. And yes, it supports not only playback, it supports REAL time playback per camera, as well as push with video.

I looked at the Duhua, but the mobile app is a dog. Unless I am missing something, the mobile app only shows four cameras. It also looks like it was built as a college science fair project. The Q-See QC View is also a total dog of an app, hence why I am leaning to the QT View app and the lower end camera systems (QT).

Other thoughts?

Must be looking at an old version. The one in my video has 16 channel view.
