I really wanted to like this thing,
I have bought tons of stuff from amazon over the years, and this is the first time I have felt inclined to write a review, so bear with me. So, right up front, I tried hard to really like this thing. I have been wanting to get it for some time now, as I have two 1080 HD Dahua security cameras (for those that don’t know, Q-See cameras and NVRs are just re-branded Dahua), which are fantastic cameras for the most part, but that’s a review for another manufactured goods.
Let me first clarify everywhere I was before I got this NVR:
I have been using the FTP functionality on the cameras for about a year now, saving off the video footage to my PC. The problem was that it was REALLY bogging down my logic with the constant writing to the lesser hard drive in my machine (the cameras don’t have the best motion-sensing capabilities, so I had motion detection set so high that it was nearly full-time record) at about 6000Kbps constant bit rate.
This is when I chose to save up for this thing and I was really excited when I got it. My friend (we are both engineers, by the way) had just ordered the 16-channel NVR and seemed to have diverse emotions after about a week’s worth of using it. He has 5 Dahua cameras and we both did the FTP thing for the last year or so. I got the 8-channel, because I didn’t reckon I would ever have more than 6 cameras or so.
Now that you know everywhere I am coming from, let me summarize a few points on this thing:
The excellent:
1. Like any NVR, this thing is completely stand-alone and does a fantastic job recording the video to the disk. It has TONS of options and you can tweak you camera settings from the NVR itself. As far as the recording goes, I couldn’t be more pleased.
2. You can use the “Q-See QC View” iPhone and iPad apps to view the cameras, playback recorded video from the NVR, etc. (more on this later).
3. The model I bought comes with a built-in 4-port PoE (Power over ethernet) switch, which is VERY handy if you don’t already have a PoE switch for your cameras. This necessitates two power supplies (12V for the NVR itself, and 48V for the built-in PoE switch), which are both included, of course.
4. HDMI and RGB output. I have it hooked up to both my TV through HDMI (I am really using a BriteView wireless HDMI transmitter in here, too and it still facility fantastic) and to a lesser computer monitor next to the NVR at the same time and that seems to work fantastic as well, though I have not tried having them both on at the same time, but I don’t reckon that it would make much of a difference.
5. The NVR finds the cameras really easily. If you have the cameras plugged directly into the NVR (using one of the four the PoE ports), it only takes as much time to find them as it takes the camera to boot up. Really simple.
The neutral:
1. A small fan blast. Not something to be TOO concerned with, but the NVR does have a built-in fan that can be a small irritating if you are sitting in the same room as the thing. It’s not really loud, but just a small irritating unless you have the NVR tucked away in a server room of sorts, which is what I did.
2. The user interface was obviously designed by engineers (and, like I said, I AM one). It’s not SUPER hideous (though they probably could have prettied it up some), it’s just hard to navigate through. Like I mentioned above, here are TONS of options for this thing, and they chose to make all of these options available to you, which is excellent, but can be a small overwhelming.
3. This NVR may change settings on your cameras without warning you. Make sure you have your network settings set up EXACTLY how you want it before you plug your cameras into the PoE switch on the back of the NVR. I was using an external PoE switch at first and found the cameras easily with the NVR on the network. I had them configured with static IPs (192.168.x.x) for simple access. All of that changed when I went them from my external PoE switch to the built-in switch on the NVR (which has a default gateway of 10.1.1.1). The switch on the NVR is completely separate from the rest of your network. In other words, I had my NVR’s IP set to 192.168.0.200, for example. The switch is still in the 10.1.x.x space. So, when I went my cameras, they were re-assigned a 10.1.x.x IP….and it was static. I couldn’t access the cameras directly from my network anymore because they were now on a different network. Sure, I could probably change my subnet masks to be able to access them again, but it was just really irritating. Even after moving them back to my external PoE switch, they were still inaccessible. Just be aware of this.
The terrible:
1. Try accessing this NVR from anything but IE and you’re out of luck. IE? Really? C’mon, guys! I am even able to access most of the functionality on my Dahua cameras directly with the iPad, but not the NVR? C’mon. Also, you have to have the RIGHT…

|Excellent manufactured goods, has more the makings,
Things that need improvment:
1. In the least logging into the NVR has a different UI then when at the NVR with the mouse. The remote NVR interface is complicated and the setting names don’t match what on the local UI. Its confusing and hard to use. Would be nice if the remote UI was the same as the local UI.
2. No way to set up a differnt event email theme per channel. Becuase of this I’m disabling the email on the NVR and using the cams to send emails. Just using NVR for video.
3. Its confusing to know what settings on the NVR override the on camera settings.
4. The NVR password is only 6 characters max. The cameraes can do over 11.
5. Can’t do a config back-up onto the hard drive. Need to use a USB stick.
6. Manual lacks details on some of the settings. Not sure what they do.
7. Some of the Event settings on the NVR are titled differntly than whats on the Q-See cameras. Confusing.
