Interesting, so is the remote admin part of the DVR bundle or does it cost additional for the software? Thanks

I can't post a screen shot online b/c all the websites which host them are blocked but mark just sent me multiple screen shots which are from the remote software and there are boxes which are grayed out. Maybe these links might work http://cw8i.providesupport.com/file-transfer/download/9OoHqjVUcj3GilfP/QWqDF607ccJFPyG8BN32z80hDIlDiW1J/323031312D31322D30375F31332D35362D32312E6A7067/2011-12-07_13-56-21.jpg http://cw8i.providesupport.com/file-transfer/download/9OoHqjVUcj3GilfP/hqbEYQYb703ux9uFGFqWDp1WxVF0HVfU/323031312D31322D30375F31332D35362D35382E6A7067/2011-12-07_13-56-58.jpg http://cw8i.providesupport.com/file-transfer/download/9OoHqjVUcj3GilfP/lTUJ3a9whyWl9zy582aN5WC01LR0BcBX/323031312D31322D30375F31332D35372D31322E6A7067/2011-12-07_13-57-12.jpg Can you confirm you are seeing the same thing?

I just asked mark to look at this conversation

I have not tried the software but will when i get out of work later today. Mark never mentioned the monitor has to be on it all the time. My fault i should be more clear. The monitor needs to be on it according to him when you want to make : Network changes, user account changes, or camera settings. The remote software will allow you to playback and view the cameras but not do much of the back door administrative stuff. Can you please confirm.

Started looking at the Qvis Appollo HD Pro 4 and it is basically the same thing as the monoprice unit with only 7fps per channel per the specs or am i missing something? http://www.nellyssurplus.com/servlet/the-1559/Qvis-Apollo-HD-4/Detail

15fps is all you need you cant see the differance 15 or 30. the mono. you have listed is not as good as you think it is. 30fps is ALL 4 so 7.5 fps is your max per camera Recording speed: 30fps @ 720x480, 60fps @ 720x240, 120fps @ 360x240 the little aver will do everything you need http://www.averusa.com/surveillance/products/hybrid-dvrs/eh1004h.asp software and demo for you to try. http://www.averdigi.com/Support/DownloadDetail.aspx?id=270 So I contacted Aver and what a great system with the exception of a few critical key items even the tech agreed with me. 1. You can not remotely administer the system. You will still need to have a monitor hooked up to the DVR for camera settings, network administration and user accounts. 2. The BB software is only for the Storm (This is not a deal breaker the first one is though) I really like this system and even the tech who was very knowledgeable (Mark) agreed with me the software limitation is inconvenient and they are going to change it but no ETA. I can not have a DVR which requires a monitor on it all the time. Initial config is not a problem but after that i need to be able to use the PC software to change settings. Any other suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks for the response guys that is why i came on here. Don't know a whole lot but just enough to get buy on this stuff i guess. I'll look into both systems now
