    Not really. We don't need foriegn food or products to survive. Our economy could support itself if we would let it.

    BUT lets not forget about NAFTA. Our economy really started going to he!! when American companys started shifting OUR jobs overseas. And yes UNIONS had alot to do with this trend. There was a time when this country needed Unions due to unfair labor practices. Now they are just plain greedy and unreasonable. Walmart is too big to ever allow Union. Walmart does NOTHING for this country except promote foriegn made crap that keeps investors happy with higher profits and Americans out of work. If you shop Walmart you are doing the same.

    Ok who makes this one?

    Ask the person selling it on e-bay! Thats where the pic came from. Just click the "Ask seller a question" tab.

    This is funny!

    Actually, The units were purchased from A1 Web Cams in Calif. www.a1webcams.com . Of course they claim to be the manufacture of the unit. They are nice people though. I thought the price was kind of high, I guess I was wrong.

    The first unit was purchased about a year ago and I have never had any problems whatsoever. If I can get the unit a little cheaper i would definately keep purchasing them. I still have 3 stores to install + my home. As far as remote view at max recording I believe it is still good, but not certain. The only thing i have to compare against is the Everfocus.

    Mine are the 8ch units. Both the recording quality and the live view are exceptional. I've used them to ward off 2 pottential claims with no problem. Keep in mind that I'm no expert though, So far I'm not very impressed with the Everfocus but the price was nice and I still think it will work for what I want it for. -Kevin

    This is the dvr I have in 2 of my stores. It is made by webgate inc. I purchased mine for 2100.00 retail. i purchased the everfocus edsr900 and it does not compare to the webgate unit.
  9. I am relatively new to the dvr world but I have 6 quicklube oil change stores that I wanted to be able to review the work my employees perform on my customers cars and obviously watch what they do when I'm not at the store. Being a do-it-yourselfer I purchased 3 systems that I installed myself. (3 out of the 6 stores) Two of them are the dsr800 dvrs made by webgate inc. and the 3rd is the Everfocus edsr900 that I just purchased online for $999. The 2 dsr800's I purchased for $2100 ea. You can see why I purchased the Everfocus unit. Since then I found this site and realized I may have made a mistake with at least the Everfocus unit, maybe even the webgate unit. I will say the webgate is a better built unit if you compare the 2 but is also quite pricey. So far the main thing I dislike about the Everfocus is it cannot support the Dynamic ISP without CONSTANTLY updating the IP address. (The PC at this store is a dedicated unit that is LINUX based and comes only with the companys software installed, I do not feel I have the knowledge or courage to try to install a software to automaticly update my IP through my DYNDNS account) The webgate unit has a built in webserver(?) so I can view it remotely without a problem. I am in the process of changing my internet service at the everfocus location to a static IP account next week. I guess my question is is there a unit out there that can serve my needs that of course is in the middle of the 2 price ranges of the units I already have? Also, is either unit really that bad? I am new to this stuff, but have been getting interested enough in it to get serious about forming a small company to install units locally in my markets. Thanks-Kevin
  10. Thanks! I refigured my router and it works good so-far. I can view remotely without problems. -Kevin
  11. The 3 units I have now are 8 channel. Record mostly with motion to get the most from the drives. I would like to maybe upgrade to 16 if a good model/price. As I stated I don't need the best but don't want junk either. Something that requires little maintenance. Thanks-Kevin
  12. Thanks Rory for replying. I have a d-link router configured in. My problem is that when the IP changes I can no longer view over the internet. I then have to drive back to store and reset the ip on my DYNDNS account. Are you saying the everfocus can do this for me? My needs for a DVR are pretty basic. A) Review a service performed on a customers car if desired by myself or customer. B) View whats going on at a store when not there.(Internet) C) Catch a thief!! Thats pretty much it. I don't feel I need the best system out there but I don't want junk either. I have been using Everfocus cameras at a couple of the stores and they seem pretty nice. Thanks-Kevin
