Here are my requirements:

4 channels
30fps at least on highest D1 resolution 700x all at one
Have a Blackberry App for remote viewing (not a browser url link)
email notifications
motion detection
(have my own HDD)

I have looked at about a million different brands and I just don't know which to buy. Monoprice has a great little unit but does not have blackberry support.

Please recommend some units which will last a Long time and will not break down.

15fps is all you need you cant see the differance 15 or 30.



the mono. you have listed is not as good as you think it is. 30fps is ALL 4 so 7.5 fps is your max per camera

Recording speed: 30fps @ 720x480, 60fps @ 720x240, 120fps @ 360x240

Thanks for the response guys that is why i came on here. Don't know a whole lot but just enough to get buy on this stuff i guess.

I'll look into both systems now

So I contacted Aver and what a great system with the exception of a few critical key items even the tech agreed with me.

1. You can not remotely administer the system. You will still need to have a monitor hooked up to the DVR for camera settings, network administration and user accounts.

2. The BB software is only for the Storm (This is not a deal breaker the first one is though)

I really like this system and even the tech who was very knowledgeable (Mark) agreed with me the software limitation is inconvenient and they are going to change it but no ETA. I can not have a DVR which requires a monitor on it all the time. Initial config is not a problem but after that i need to be able to use the PC software to change settings.

Any other suggestions is appreciated.

Started looking at the Qvis Appollo HD Pro 4 and it is basically the same thing as the monoprice unit with only

7fps per channel per the specs or am i missing something?

call mark back and ask him to put someone else on who has been there longer. you dont need the monitor on or connected all the time. and yes you can control the dvr remote. via remote viewer or CM3000 or remote admin software.


did you try the BB demo ?

I have not tried the software but will when i get out of work later today.

Mark never mentioned the monitor has to be on it all the time. My fault i should be more clear. The monitor needs to be on it according to him when you want to make : Network changes, user account changes, or camera settings.

The remote software will allow you to playback and view the cameras but not do much of the back door administrative stuff.

Can you please confirm.

hi. you have the same screen when viewing remote as you do on the system its self. you can do everything you can as if at the dvr or airport the other side of the world you just need the internet. i will PM you the manual.

I just asked mark to look at this conversation

I can't post a screen shot online b/c all the websites which host them are blocked but mark just sent me multiple screen shots which are from the remote software and there are boxes which are grayed out. Maybe these links might work

hi. they are webviwer snaps and not remote viwer software. all avers have the same screen on the system or away from the system looks like this

Interesting, so is the remote admin part of the DVR bundle or does it cost additional for the software?

Thanks

You can buy their DVRs in any configuration, 4-16 channels with options of 7fps D1 (704x480) record each channel or 30fps D1 (704x480) record each channel, 32 channel at 7fps D1 record all channels - all the DVRs have real time display. 7fps is fine for most applications. They have units that hold up to 8 internal Drives for 16TB, and some with eSata for 12TB external.

all 4 types of software are free ...... you dont need to carry any disks around as everything is downloaded from the dvr


even internet setup is easy just click on link select DVR follow settings make password and your done free ddns
