Good point. Fl - USA. Also, I would like the capability to have different user access levels particularly for online viewing (i.e. view only, and limit accessible cameras).. Thanks in advance for everyone input. -Brian

I am looking to replace my 16 channel DVR due to a power failure and other performance issues and would like to seek input. My current setup has the DVR and 12v power supply inside a telco cabinet in a closet therefore I would like to be able to manage all aspects via remote software client. I currently have (6) Samsung SCV-2080R external dome cameras, along with an internal Vitek VTD-AR2812/1 dome, and would like to have the ability to add 2-4 more cameras (possibly IP/megapixel). Desired Features: Ability to record ~30fps @ D1 on all cameras Some type of watchdog to reset system if cameras stop recording (last DVR would freeze and stop recording). Ability to search per camera, time, etc and if possible search a designated area to detect change. Ability to mask out motion zones so motion in the defined area doesn't prompt recording. Iphone/browser remote viewing. Prior to posting I did some research on the site and saw good recommendations for dahua DVR's, but I was unable to ascertain the difference between their higher end units. Thanks in advance for help/recommendations.

Thanks. I definately did not think they looked right. I am glad I asked! Now to wait to return and get new ones (BAH)!

I purchased Samsung SCD-2080R cameras to mount outside under my eaves (Florida). These arrived today and I was suprised they did not have anytype of weather sealing gaskets. Is this normal? I was told these are rated for outdoors, but cannot find any reference to that in the manual. Can anyone chime in? http://www.samsungcctvusa.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=329
