I've done a bunch of searching and still don't know what is good. I'm looking to spend around $700 if possible. It's going to be used for home use. The cameras are 700res cameras. Is there a DVR anyone you would recommend? I'd like it to be smart phone ready also. Thanks

I have been installing/troubleshooting/upgrading CCTV cameras & systems for the last 8 years and this product @ $99 is by far the best bang for your buck. It does automatic port forwarding and remote viewing on any iOS/Android device is a breeze !!! Throw in a 1 TB hard drive and u r good to go. D1 viewing sucks up a lot of bandwidth on your upload speed and I have a seen a lot of carriers data throttle upload speeds nowadays.


Hope it helps !!

16-channel DVR for $99?? Are you freakin' kidding?? Oh yeah, that's why: it's not D1. CIF-only both recording AND live, according to the eBay listing.

8 years in the industry and you cant spot crap...................... op is looking for D1 not old CIF unit ONLY.





Nothing to do with his network ....... nothing at all.

700 bucks is a bit low. If you must have a 16 channel unit at full D1, bump your budget up to 800 to 1k. Q-see has one, QT5116-

Check your PM for another one to consider. Good luck.

Go to work and all hell breaks loose.

If it weren't for my being at work and not wanting to work on personal stuff, I would have responded to the hijackers differently.

Thanks to zap grab the memories can live on though.
