Inspire Red series DVRs

[Numb-nuts 1]

I know these have only recently appeared on the market in the UK, has anyone any opinions on these DVR series?

All opinions on the spec sheet welcomed (good or bad)

 

I will quite the spec for the 8 channel dvr for example, what do you all think.

• Built in CD/DVD RW drive

• High speed internet

• CIF, 2 CIF and D1 recording resolution

• Maximum record rate 200 fps in any resolution

• Set the record rate FPS for each channel independently

• Set resolution for each channel independently

Three questions,

1. what is the covert camera facility ?

2. what are Video loop throughs ?

3. What are the good points and any bad points ?

 

These retail for about £1000 - £1200 incl Tax, with a 1000 GB HDD good value? ( before anyone says it yes thats four questions)

Video loop is just an output that is equal to your camera inputs. This could be used if you wanted 8 monitors to watch live (like in a guard house).

 

All the specs seem fine to me. But I'd say its overpriced for 1TB, 8 channel.
