Thanks herminshs, kaysadeya, and rory. This forum really helped in understanding that $600.00 is not going to cut it, for a realy good 4 channel. Maybe not even $800.00, but I will check out your web site Rory, and if anyone else has any product ideas for my first DVR please post. I will not be getting any of the three that I originally listed. You are right, alot of them dont have brand names. Also I did not want to get a PC based DVR. I read alot on PC v. Stand alone, and that debate to complicates me the consumer even more, but I think if I recall, the stand alones are less vulnerable to computer viruses, etc, and more more powerfull.

This one looks great on paper, G4-4000DVR Triplex, and it has 4 audio channels, but it is about 200.00 beyond my price range, $979.00 w/ 80GB HD. I am asking for too much for 800.00?

Are there better quality ones in this price range or are these crap because of the costs. Thanks for the info becasue there is no way that a novice to DVRs can tell which ones are crap. But that Teklink really sounded good on paper.

I am looking for an internet accessible (remote access), 4 channel DVR that has at least one audio output, minimum 80 GB HD, removeable if possible, 30fps (maybe 60fps), motion activated, alarm out put, high resolution 480 line or more, MPEG ability, custom motion setting for each camera, searchable by date & time. So far from what I have seen, I like the Teklink CR04N for $625.00 from cu1.com. This one has an audio output too. I also like the Everfocus EDSR400F from cctvproducts.com for $782.00 but I am not sure if this one has an audio output. I also like the MACE DVR 400 NR from ?????? for $717.98. My price range is 600.00 - 800.00 but I am not sure of these brands or if there are other brands out there that have these features. Any suggestions.
