My father's organization is currently using a Honeywell model HRHD410C80. They have it in a guard shack about a mile from the main office, and I notice this model has features like remote access and all the goodies. They don't really need all the fancy stuff. They need a cost-efficient replacement that will be able to record to 80GB (same size as the original) since this one is acting up. It needs to have at least 3 inputs for 3 cameras. They have two now but are contemplating on adding a third. Another thing... it needs to have ate/time stamp capability as well as fast forward and rewind capability. It also needs to be able to wire directly up to their Samsung model SMC-140 monitor which supports NTSC/PAL.
I don't know their budget, but I know the budget is extremely tight. So, let's keep it simple and low enough cost without purchasing junk that will malfunction 6 months down the road. If you need any other info for an accurate recommendation, please ask.
Thanks for helping a fellow new-comber.
