Hikvision DS-7108N Information - Good Buy?

Found this Hikvision DS-7108N 8Ch NVR on aliexpress.com but cannot find any detailed specs. on its recording resolution capabilities, firmware version etc. Is anyone familiar with this model or can recommend whether it would be a good buy for a basic office setup with 6 Geovision cameras? Thanks in advance for your feedback and consideration.

I received NVR from that 1st linked vendor (vgood/7days total to US btw), DS-7108N-SN.

On 2.3.6 FW, English ONLY

max res seems only 1080p, i tried setting 2032 cam to 1500p, nvr lost signal.

NVR is nice, but this fw lacks things like SINGLE FRAME +/-, and a few other very nice to have features (digital zoom is there but weak/disorganized, seems half implemented, not sure if this it tru on all Hik NVRs), Playback CALENDAR click didn't select correct date, i had to drag thru every day to get a week back.

but for $100+HD! sold me (was on aliexpress sale 20 off 200, bought 2).

Make sure your cams are supported, and go for it IMO.

Since there is no fan in this unit, u might consider low power(cooler) 5400 rpm drive like WD RED, unless u can find PURPLE/YELLOW cheaper. Should be no prob to handle 8 cams / 50mbps (which is 7108 limit, I think 7608/7616 only have 40mpbs limit!)

BTW, older firmware had probs working w/wireless USB mouse dongle, 2.3.6 works fine with K400 Logitech wireless combo. Double finger drag (mouse wheel emulation) scrolls NVR Timeline in playback mode (which you'll need, as the calendar on mine wasn't functioning).

Of course, I have not studied in detail the functional, but in my case it is the same as european NVR DS-7608!!!
