Can anyone recommend a brands of DVRs that transfer video off of the hard drives relatively quickly? I have a Q-SEE and it takes for ever to back up or transfer recorded video files on to a USB drive. 30 minute low res video takes half an hour or longer. Watching the footage off of the DVR takes forever since the fast forward doesn't seem to move as quickly as it says it is (16x). It's easier to transfer them over to my pc where I can skip through the video. I'm guessing the answer is something more expensive, but I don't want to spend the money to be in the same boat. I'm only looking for a 4-channel.

A removable hard-drive would work as well... Any recomendation for a brand of DVR that has this feature?

I have 2 different brand usb drives that I use, they transfer from USB to my PC in just a few minutes but a 30min video clip from the DVR to the USB drive takes close to 30 minutes. I don't think the DVR supports USB 2.0. MY primary use for transfering video is to review the video. The dvr says its fast forwarding at 16x but it's nowhere near that speed in reality. I don't think I can log into my dvr and transfer videos over the network, that would be even better if I could. The dvr is sitting between my computer and the router. I'm able to access the video feeds through my phone, I'll have to see if I can transfer data over the network as well.
