It says it will record 8 channels and its only $46.20. I know what they say about sounds too good to be true but at this price I'm tempted to take a gamble. I just wondered if anyone else has ever tried one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted May 7, 2014 You will need an E-SATA hard drive attached to that since it has no storage on board. Also, I am betting the frame rate per channel is fairly low so it depends on your needs. It also only playback 4 channels at a time in 720p or a single channel at 1080p. I am guessing that is their live viewing and not really playback... so again, if you are good with only seeing 4 of your 8 cameras at any given time then it could be an option.

drbax 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah I don't think that would really meet my needs. Thank you for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimilovell 0 Posted May 30, 2014 DVRs are so cheap now anyway. I wouldn't risk buying it off Chinese website, and having to pay import duties/VAT/clearing charges etc... and then to find out it isn't what you need/ faulty/ designed in wield way that only the manufacturer knows how to work it.
