gman 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Hey Everyone, After reading the forum for several days now, it looks like a Dahua DVR is best to fit my needs. Problem is, I'm having trouble finding them. At Rory's suggestion to others, I have looked at Mace and Qsee (can't find Intellicam anywhere, is it maybe Intellipix?), but would like to look at other brands as well. For example, monoprice.com has a dvr with the following specs: Monoprice is proud to offer a high quality cost effective DVR solution for your security system! Featuring a user friendly linux based mouse driven graphical user interface (GUI), remote access via Internet Explorer for menu control and monitoring of playback, a maximum recording rate of 240 frames per second (FPS), H.264 video encoding which uses up to 50% less storage space than Mpeg4 encoding, event notifications to e-mail or PC client systems, and various backup options available such as a USB flash drive, an external CD/DVD writer, or the included DVD-RW drive, this is a DVR that provides the ultimate level of protection for your home or business at a price that's affordable. Features: - User friendly graphical user interface (GUI) - Mouse driven GUI - Easy to use menu composition - Easy to use recorded data search (time, date, motion, alarm) - Auto restart after power interruption - DB structure offers data stabilization and optimum storage utilization - Remote control via client program - Remote full access via Internet Explorer (menu control, monitoring, playback) - Pan, tilt, zoom control - Embedded Linux OS - H.264 encoding (uses up to 50% less space than Mpeg4) - Multi channel playback - IR remote control - Event notifications to e-mail, buzzer, or PC client system - Various backup options available (USB flash drive, external CD/DVD, SATA DVD-RW (included)) - Storage: 3 SATA hard drives up to 2TB each for a total of 6TB maximum (not included) Is there any way to figure out if this is Dahua or not?

SEANHAWG 1 Posted March 10, 2011 I dont think any of monoprice DVR's are Dahua's. For mace, the model number for the Dahua DVR that is talked about most on this forum is: SQ40, SQ80, and SQ160. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gman 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks Sean. I did see those on the Mace website, but I was hoping to find a few other sites that carry them so I could find the best price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted March 12, 2011 Unless you can qualify as a distributor (mass purchaser), you probably wont find much of a better price anywhere else, if so, it will be insignificant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
