So, here I am stuck and no idea where to go.
I've tried 2 "Big" (Known) manufactures of the DVRs.
1) Samsung SRD-1650 - (OK app, DVR gets STUCK (Still records and works, but Smartviewer no longer connect until you reboot the DVR).
The DVR is running 1.12 fw, the latest one. I have the same exact models that have been purchased 2 years ago and they work perfectly fine, never got stuck!
I think that Samsung has some quality control issues! I was with the CS a lot of times and they are of no help.
The DVR is not reliable. It is good on papers, but it sucks! It gets stuck at least once a day.
2) Everfocus Ecor264x1/16 - DVR is OK, software is nightmare! PowerVideo Plus or whatever it is. Bogus playback function, not user friendly. If You select all 16 channels on the DVR, it takes all the bandwidth (it is good), but if you "zoom" in into 1 channel, it still sucks the same bandwidth, which is not cool.
Is there any other reputable manufacturer I could give a try?
The budget for the unit is around $1.2K.
Thank you very much.
