great picks jack! the $14 lens looks way better, the other stock lens looked out of focus and colors washed. i just ordered the $14 PT-03618MP lens, i have a narrow side yard and camera field of view needs improvement. i will post before and after pics when i receive my lens. thanks again lowpro and jack for the info on adapting these lenses " title="Applause" />

be looking for your pics, thanks jack!

ssuro11...big improvement! care to share where you bought your lenses?? rather purchase in states than have them shipped from china.

good point... lowpro dont forget to post some picks with your new lenses "if and when" you get them

why cant you daisy chain to nvrs?? crossover cable? like linking two pcs. keep it simple, just use two separate logins and settings. dns settings can be on the same user account. (noip) you will also get better frame rates.

As of this writing, this NVR supports IP cameras made by: Dahua, Arecont Vision, Axis, Canon, Dynacolor, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony and Onvif.

or the redesigned with front ports; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833181163 and yes the nvr supports a second hd.

see this thread...great info on the setup. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32694

Amazon.com has the 8ch. nvr for a great price of $499. sold by Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009HPBSGE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

BJs Wholesale Club is selling the Q-see 8ch. nvr kit with four cams for $1299. http://www.bjs.com/q-see-8-channel-h264-dvr-with-1tb-hard-drive-and-4-hd-720p-ip-cameras.product.226442

BIKE, be looking forward to your input on those lenses, maybe some still picks? enjoy your vacation! BUELLWINKLE, is it possible where the light is placed may be the problem? i saw your review and video on these cams, your streetlight is above the sight of the cam and the video looks great. my situation is all my lighting will be in direct view of cams. this must have an adverse affect??? optimum lighting would be behind cam... am i correct on this???

hey BIKE, did you try those lenses????

surprised they even admitted to that? i am pretty sure theirs a truth in advertising law... i know nobody would complain about getting a better 8ch. nvr BUT you have consumers wanting a 8ch. nvr who may not take a liking to that statement. still waiting for my delivery, how i would love a 8ch.

Question: is it true the costco 4cam 4ch. nvr deal is not considered a electronic item? (90 days return policy) i read somewhere within the threads a member spoke to a costco employee about returning the unit and was told non-electronic return applies. also what is the standard return policy time? costco return policy: We guarantee your satisfaction on every product we sell with a full refund. The following must be returned within 90 days of purchase for a refund: televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, touch screen tablets, MP3 players and cellular phones.

online only in the ny area... costco has the 4ch. with two cams. for 599 http://www.costco.com/Q-See-4-Channel-HD-Digital-NVR-with-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-2-HD-720p-IP-Cameras.product.11767205.html?catalogId=10701&keyword=nvr&langId=-1&storeId=10301

Rats! That's all that's keeping me from ordering now. I really want the 8 ch. but it seems warehouse roulette determines which one you get. I wonder if Q-See can upgrade it for you after the fact? Or, could you return to Costco and try again? i here ya dave, bought two 4ch. kits to substitute the 8ch. model... i figure if i can get the kits this cheap (699) a 8ch kit with eight cameras will cost you an easy 2k+. the plus on having two 4ch kits, 8 poe ports, 2tb hds, better frame rate, shorter lengths of cable runs to nvrs. eventually split 1080p cameras across two nvrs, saves space. honestly i think qsee made a huge mistake only offering the 4ch. model at costco, lots of consumers will just buy the dahua branded models. guess their trying to get the most dollar from the introduction BUT unaware how many of us know theirs a substitute for qsee.

bought two 4ch. kits today, needed 8 channels. probably have an extra 4 cameras if anybody is interested...??

thats a question for buellwinkle, the network camera critic! " title="Applause" />

software scans your network, qsee automatically scans. nvr could be in place of switch for on site recording you also should know you can stack switches/poe switches/bridges
