Hi Have recently bought 4 cameras, cables and a DVR from a well-known online company, but am not happy with the DVR as it doesn't do all they said it should - so thinking of returning it and getting a different model - am happy with the cameras etc, so just the DVR I think to replace Just wanted some advice/recommendations please This is what I wanted to achieve 1) Ability to access the DVR from ipad/iphone when out - current DVR uses kweye and does not work well at all, sometimes connecting, other times not, and even when connected it often doesn't show any image 2) automatic usb or network backup in some form - so for example if someone broke in and also nicked the DVR I would have some data on network or a usb memory stick hidden away somewhere 3) software that works with Windows 7!!! this one came with NVMS 4.5 which won't work at all in Windows 7, and even when I tried it under XP looks rubbish and really outdated - could see no sign of who made it and couldn't find it on google to see if they had a newer version Is this possible? or would I be better getting a DVR PCI card for computer and leave that running all the while doing the cctv instead Anything I have missed please ask and thanks in advance for reading/helping
