dickl

I have a 9 camera 6 year old DVR. Linux software, with bad internet connectivity. I am looking for something that will give me lots of internet flexibility for viewing and control. I sort of want ALL control to be over the internet once set up. I have been eyeing a Speco 16 camera wall mount DVR Speco Part #: DVR16WM250 But it is a bit pricey at $800.00 + hard drive How good is the Speco? I am also looking at Qvis and Dahua as I have seen great stuff on this site about them and they are more in the range of what I can spend on this system. How do they compare with the Speco, and is the Speco a good choice??

Any opinion on the Dahua DH-DVR1604​LE-A ?? I am looking to upgrade from an old DVR and want very good internet usage and control.

thanks.

CIF? Sorry if that is a dumb question?
