I purchased the Amcrest 720p system and set it up but after using it for a while I've determined it's basically unusable because the software is so bad. I had something go down yesterday and I wanted to get the video and it took hours to get a 30 minute clip. It's horrible. I don't know much about these systems but is there a way to either stream it to a server and just save the video or possibly replace the inside dvr unit with something is has better software? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R3QLLA2?sa-no-redirect=1&pldnSite=1 These are the cameras: Includes 4 x HD 1.0MP IP66 heavy-duty metal bullet cameras that generate 1280 x 720p video @ 30fps with a 3.6mm lens and wide 75 Degree viewing angle.
