liveinxs 0 Posted July 10, 2011 hello all, now that i have the camera part of my system resolved, it is time to move onto the DVR, now i had originally wanted to go with the CNB HDS4824, 16 Channels DVR, but after having read about the EverFocus ECOR264-16X1, i am now some-what back to zero... of course i don't want to waste time or money, so i am turning to you guys for your input, would anyone have any info or opinions on the CNB, or EverFocus DVRs or their line of DVRs... so my head don't explode , please don't recommend any other brands, as i feel these two represent just what i am looking for, i just need some opinions on the CNB and EverFocus lines, possibly specifically these models... below is a links to the DVRs i was looking at: CNB, http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1116 EverFocus, http://www.everfocus.com/product.cfm?productid=179 thanks for any help....

Numb-nuts 1 Posted July 11, 2011 Sorry I can't help with these as I have tried neither, but the spec looks very good. Obviously you have given this a lot of thought. Until you used the brand you have no idea what customer support is like, but I often find the supplier offers better support than the manufacturer. I usually fit what has been supplied and so when something does go wrong, my first port of call is now always the retail supplier. They often know more than the manufacturer themselves, but not always. It drives me mad when I phone for support and you can tell that the person on the phone is bored I like enthusiastic support from people that really don't treat you like an idiot. Whatever you finally choose, my fingers are crossed for you. PS Don't cut down any more trees will ya? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 188 Posted July 11, 2011 on the spec of both. the everfocus is a better FPS at D1 unit. both mac and pc viewing. CNB only being 3fps which is low for that sort of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vmgtlexi 0 Posted August 31, 2011 I can only say this. I've had an Everfocus 4 channel DVR for 3 1/2 years (an "EDVR4D1" model). It has worked perfectly thus far. I have been shopping for another DVR to possibly add more cameras. I think I would only buy Everfocus or Samsung (www.samsung-security.com). Good luck.
