merckx 0 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Hello I already have a CCTV system setup at home with some good quality cameras but the old Avtech DVR (AVD715) isn't capable of being accessed via an app on an android tablet and phone so I'm considering replacing it with a cheap QVIS DVR primarily for live viewing and maybe just the recording of the images from one camera. I was surprised at how little I would have to pay for a QVIS DVR, only £89 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321231352974?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Would one of these do the job, I was a little concerned that the technology might be a little dated and the live images might not be that good when only paying so little? The dvr needs to come with a remote control. Thanks Edited March 25, 2014 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

merckx 0 Posted March 25, 2014 With all this rebranding it's ridiculous trying to compare one dvr with another !!!!! The dvr in my first post is a QVIS model, is that a rebranded Dahua? Neutech, the one you provided the link for is that a rebranded Dahua? It appears to be a Duhua DVR5108. ( It looks good but unfortunately it doesn't come with a remote control). Should I be going for a rebranded Dahua or a QVIS made by themselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neutech 0 Posted March 26, 2014 Chill... No remote? use a wireless mouse instead way better menu operation than a remote control, gives you access to full keyboard so entering a day and time to do search is far easier than poken buttons on a remote Yes that is a Dahau based unit and a good one at that compared to the old version you listed with only 6 FPS recording speed that unit will do 25 FPS so real time recordings and playback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merckx 0 Posted March 26, 2014 A remote control is essential. You might laugh. Haha We live on a busy main road and our cat has a harness attached to a long chord which keeps him in the back garden, occasionally he gets tangled up and comes out of the harness. I always keep an eye on him when I'm at home, we have 3 camera's because there are blind spots in the garden so I'm constantly having to change camera depending on where he is.
