sbering 0 Posted June 26, 2009 We are looking for some new dvrs to replace the previous dvrs we had which were Tempest systems (total pieces of junk). The camera systems are for apartment buildings. The buildings are not large enough to have managers offices so we usually figure out a place to put the systems. The systems are in a lockbox and kept in the garages. Part of the problem is the enclosures we used did not have adequate ventilation. Now I'm looking for some replacement dvr's. Can anyone recommend a good dvr in the 500-700 range (Or if that range is unreasonable a higher price range) that is durable, can be viewed remotely and has at least a 300gb hard drive. Also, I have a problem with lockboxes, can anyone recommend lockboxes that have adequate ventilation but keep dust out. The lockboxes I have no only have a little ventilation and one or two fans, so dust stays out, but the units still get too hot. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbering 0 Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks. I'll check those out. There are so many choices and options out there. The company we used to originally install the cameras is out of business and we have another company installing some, but I don't care for the systems the have put in. So I'm trying to see what else I can get. Does it make sense to look at any of the name brands out there, mitsubishi, samsung, sanyo, bosch, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
