Rhea 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I am trying to say that the guy has replaced the DVR with one that is pretty obsolete & old type for the price of high quality DVR Any ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovyman 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I'd expect at full retail this type of DVR would sell for $200-$250 without a hard drive. Add $150-$200 for a hard drive. Similar quality DVRs can be found on ebay for $125 or less (w/o hard drive). A quick google search turned up the manufacturer: http://www.yishi.net.cn/video/ProductShow.asp?ID=208 Anyway, even when you add installation and configuration charges I think $800 is still a bit excessive for this. Another non-branded dvr from china with no documentation or support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nDAlk90 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Hows the picture quality? Playback quality? I'm not sure if its possible to be able to look at the DVR case and see if the components are good or not. I think we need more information. Just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

groovyman 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm not sure if its possible to be able to look at the DVR case and see if the components are good or not. I think we need more information. Just my 2 cents. There's a model number YS-3508V. Search results are full of chineese wholesalers. From there the specs and manufacturer are listed. To me it looks like many other inexpensive DVRs found on ebay.
