Swann DVR4-Net Plus Any good?

Recommended Posts


I have used the exact same DVR in a black case from some manu. in China, Sharpvision. I think they sell this DVR in some walmarts across the US too. It was a decent DVR. Local replay and viewing was OK. No VGA output. Remotely it lacked in performance. Basically any time we tried connecting remotely the machine froze. If you have anymore specific questions please let me know.

 

The one I tried out:

We've got a couple of these on commercial premises.

 

The good :

 

* Reliable. Have only had a single case where we had to reboot the box (we couldn't establish a connection via ethernet)

* Quality / $ ratio is good (at least here in Australia)

* Helpful telephone support

 

The bad :

 

* There seems to be a rather bad 'bug' that we can't solve. We have the systems running in 24/7 motion detect. Everytime there is motion it records 30 seconds of footage cand calls it an 'event'. However the PC software can only review the first 999 events! The unit itself can display 1000 pages of events with each page being about 10 items long (about 22 'days' depending on the HD size / quality)

 

Cheers, Antony.
