Fantastic picture quality, noisy fan, some quirks,
The cameras each have 3 connectors. You only need the Ethernet connector to connect to this NVR. The Ethernet comes with some sort of sealing mechanism to keep out moisture. Unfortunately, it cannot work with pre-made cables, since the RJ45 will not fit through it. This is a shame as the kit comes with 4 rolls of 100 ft Cat5E cable. If you don’t plot on crimping your own cables, you must find some other way of protecting the connection from moisture if this is installed outdoors.
Although the unit says that it is a 16 channel camera, here are only 8 Ethernet ports at the back. If you need to connect more than 8 cameras, add a PoE switch, plug it to one of the 8 ports, and connect the extra cameras to it. I’d also like to add that Q-See support is very responsive.
Turning on the logic, I’m greeted by a setup wizard, and a loud fan whine. Going through it is pretty self-explanatory, with two quirks. But let’s talk about the fan first. This is a 40mm fan mounted at the side of the case to provide ventilation. It runs all the time. It does not grow to be temperature controlled (it was spinning away merrily even when the exhaust is cool). I had originally intended to place this box in the living room by the TV, but unless I can do something about the blast, this is not going to happen.
First quirk – it supports daylight saving time, but you need to enter the initiation and end times for DST manually. This is a bit of a hassle, but fortunately Wikipedia provided the information I needed. In the United States, DST starts on the 2nd Sunday of March, and ends on the 1st Sunday of November, at 2 a.m.
The second quirk is when I’m trying to set up remote access. It displays a small QR code on the screen that my phone wasn’t able to scan, due to the size and the high draw a honor ratio between the black background and the white QR. Eventually, it timed out and dumped me into the cameras screen. I was able to complete the setup by going to Menu, then Setup.
Third quirk – here is some overscan in the video output. As a result, I can’t see anything showed on the edge of the show, which is a problem as many of the buttons are at the edge of the screen. I went through setup and don’t see a way to adjust this. This is quite irritating.
The picture quality from the included camera is very excellent. In daylight affect is vibrant, thanks to the IR cutoff filter. When light level falls, the IR LEDs turn on (giving it the usual reddish glow). The picture remains sharp, to my surprise.
I would like at least some of these cameras is the rather narrow angle of view. Q-See has many other cameras, I haven’t looked through them, presumably here would be one that could do the job.
This model does not have hardware clock radio inputs and outputs like some other Q-See models. It can clock radio on video input loss, but.
Viewing the cameras through an app as well as with Firefox (plug-in required) running on Windows facility. Live view looks gritty on Firefox, but recorded footage playback is very clear. Does not work on a Chromebook though.
I’ll update this review as I learn more about this intriguing manufactured goods. But initial impression after a few days of use is that even as it is not polished, it is feature rich.

|Amazingly quality logic.,
The cameras are weatherpoof and what’s really fantastic is that they are full 3 megapixel image sensored 1080 hi-def! None of these blurry convienence store video pictures! And these cameras provide night vision up to one hundred feet! More than enough for my circumstances.
Q-See also boasts that here cameras will, “automatically adjust images for enhanced clarity,” as well as back lighting compenstation and, “Digital Blast Reduction ensure that images grow as clear as possible regardless of the surrounding lighting conditions.”
Then we get to some more fantastic features which are remote internet access and live streaming in the least to MAC or PC, iPhone, iPad, or Android. You can even receive, “email alerts upon motion detection.”
It is a small hard to map out how to set everything up, though. The handier you are the simpler it will be, but it is not further than most people who have a small bit of technical know-how, especially with the help of their technical support.
I am very pleased with this logic and feel more secure knowing I have it. I still hope I will never have to use the video because of a break-in, but if I do, it’ll have really fantastic footage to give to the police!

|Solid and lasting indoor / outdoor surveillance logic,
I found setup to be no more complicated or hard than most consumer grade camera security systems. Once you have your cables run and your cameras set, make all of your connections, power up and follow the instructions. Relatively simple. Expect to take some time playing around and getting familiar with the features and controls on the NVR, and use a excellent monitor with an HDMI connection for optimal image quality. The QR codes are a nice feature for quickly and painlessly configuring your smartphone (or tablet) to access live images from the logic.
The included 1TB NVR, on the one hand is nice because you don’t need to rig another PC to record images or send everything to cloud storage, but on the other hand it may not be the best solution if you don’t have a excellent place to hide it, or some way to back up your recorded images. When intruders see cameras in a home or business, they are pretty stupid if they don’t at least try to find the recording device so they can take it with them. Even if your NVR is well hidden, finding it can be as simple as subsequent the cables. If your images are not backed up somewhere else, here goes your high tech evidence. This unit does support backup options, but they would need to be added.
The toughest part by far is the cabling, but this would be no different for any other logic. Depending on your attention, it can take a lot of time to properly route, secure, and hide the Ethernet cables. This brings up an vital point – in case it was not obvious, this is a wired logic. If you need cameras for surveillance outside your structure, and you do not want to drill huge holes or fish Ethernet cables through very small crevices between the interior and exterior of your house, you may need to consider a wireless solution. But, keep in mind, unless the cameras are battery powered, you will still need to run power to the exterior cameras of a wireless logic. So really it comes down to what size hole you want to drill, or whether you can sneak a thin DC power cord under the weatherstripping vs. making a larger opening. If you are thinking about just aiming your cameras through a window to see outside, this is only excellent in daylight. In the dark, the IR lighting will reflect on the glass and make it impossible to capture excellent images. This can even be a problem in daylight if you have no way to turn the IR lighting off.
For its intended operation and purpose, this is a very solid and lasting logic.
