You CAN but you definitely wont be happy with the results.

Has anyone purchased a Q-See QT536 and had a chance to try it out? Its a newer DVR but seems to have some great features. Thanks in advance

All of the cameras in this set have fixed 3.6mm lens with no adjustment possible. The colors are good but if Revo is better then I may look at that.

I also purchased the Samsung SDE-4001 system (from Sam's Club) to check it out since I was new to the CCTV world. After I purchased it I realized I needed the 16-channel but thought I would keep it for a month or so and get some good shots at different angles to see if it was worth it. I was inticed due to running Cat 5 cable instead of the higher priced siamese cable for video/audio. In the end I took a few hours of video and captured many still shots. Overall I was pleased with the quality of the video and still shots. The only way to get better shots would be to use a Megapixel system which would be a lot more expensive. I plan to purchase the 16 channel system (that comes with 8 cameras) and use the domes more for observation and the bullets in the front of the house by the garage to monitor the cars in the driveway. I plan to purchase (2) 2.6-12mm vari-focal lens cameras so I can ID someone at the front and back door even when mounting the cameras at 17' (2-story house). I've attached a couple of photos that I captured. Let me know what you think. Photos captured at 704x480.
