wiggum 0 Posted July 27, 2012 I've had a Q-See DVR for the past nearly two years. Recently it started misbehaving. It would record stop recording and I'd have to reset it. I'm looking for a new DVR. I was looking at this (4CH) DVR-LT4120MHD from Security Camera King. I wanted to get some opinions! I was going to get the 8 channel but figured 4 is enough. I can do 4 off this unit and several IP cameras off my Synology NAS if I decided I wanted a few more cameras in the future. Looks like it is a Full D1? 4 Channel Ultimate Mini Series D1 Realtime Security DVR System Main Processor High performance Dual-core embedded microprocessor Operating System Embedded LINUX System Resources Pentaplex function: live, recording, playback, backup & remote access Control Mode Front panel, USB mouse, IR remote control, Keyboard, Network Video Input 4CH, BNC(1.0Vp-p, 75?) 8CH, BNC(1.0Vp-p, 75?) 16CH, BNC(1.0Vp-p, 75?)

TipoFloe 0 Posted July 27, 2012 They made great efforts to present this product shine. It looks like a great unit. "This is the highest quality standalone DVR available anywhere in the world. The Ultimate Series records real-time video at either CIF (360 x 240) or 4CIF (704 x480) resolution on every channel. That's right! This unit can record up to 704 x 480 at 30fps on all channels simultaneously. Match this capability against any other DVR on the market today and you will see why this is truly the Ultimate DVR! It is ideal for use in casinos, for license plate capture, facial detection or anywhere that high resolution images are paramount." This is taken straight from their description of the product. The spec sheet was a little unclear bout all channel 30pps D1, but the description confirms it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiggum 0 Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah, I saw that part of the description. Was hoping someone had this unit to chime in on the quality of it. It is a Dahua unit. I spoke with the company today to confirm it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spoke with the company today to confirm it. If it's a Dahua unit, then there's not doubt about the quality and performance. I've heard so many great things about them. Good luck with it.

Gary J 0 Posted August 1, 2012 It sounds a lot like the EverFocus DVR. Have you compared them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
