The american dynamics EDVR does not have a remote.
It is very easy to setup for viewing remotly.
It has both a web server for viewing from your browser, or
can be managed entirely from the EDVR client.
All you do is set an IP address to the unit, it also has a port you can change, default is 80, for obvious reasons.
I see you are going for the 9 channel, but warning, the 80 gig version you are looking at, will not get you much record time on 9 channel.
Also, the motion detection record only works really well on this unit.
Can't say anything about the other system I do not know it.
