quidpro 0 Posted February 24, 2012 Just wondering if anybody has had a chance to use either or both of these units. Picked up a Swann D19-16CH w/8 Camera bundle at Costco and while I thought the image quality was decent... the leafblower dual fans on the side of the DVR is making this a dealbreaker... I thought my old PC's were loud! From what I gather here the Q-See is fanless... not sure about the D14. The QT-428 almost has me sold, but not sure about the quality of the cameras that come with it. I know typically bundled cameras are not that great... but need a starting point for now.

shockwave199 0 Posted February 25, 2012 Looks like the QT428 comes bundled a variety of ways- meaning the quality of the cameras. You could consider just the dvr and add better cameras than might come with a bundled package. In fact I highly recommend it. I don't have either dvr but I do have a qs408 from them and I like it a bunch. It came bundled with eight cameras which I quickly swapped out for better. My 408 is fanless but don't assume all of them are- confirm it. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quidpro 0 Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the info. I contacted Swann and they said the D14 has a fan... though in the manual when you see them replacing the HD, I don't see any fan... but who knows. Seems QSee often has firmware updates, which speaks volumes about after-sales support. Might be tough to gethem on the phone as some people say, but at least they are passing firmware updates along from their manufacturers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
